My former PC had lots of picture manipulting programs as Paint Shop and many others. My new Visa Ultimate has next to nothing, in that respect.

Most programs that I have are compatible with Windows and XP. Will I have any problems loading them onto Vista?

Thanks a bunch.

Most old applications should work fine on the new operating system.

You can try looking up your programs on one of these lists to determine compatibility before trying it yourself.
Software certified to work on Windows Vista
Another list of applications

Corel Paint Shop Pro XI is officially supported on Windows Vista, though you will need to download a patch for it.

Hope this was helpful!
