Quickbooks 2005 on Vista

[shello11]

I tried to load Quickbooks 2005 on my laptop with a Vista OS, but was confounded by the Flashplayer 7 snafu. I gave up and left my laptop at "Computer Nerds" so they could try to load it. They ultimately said they tried for 3 hours, and then realized QB 2005 wasn't compatible with Vista.

This was unacceptable, so a year later (now) I purchased a netbook with Windows XP; with this site's help, I was able to load the program onto it.

Is there really no way I can load the program onto my Vista laptop?
