Windows Vista Update

I have the 64 bit Vista and I hate it

It will not let me load my software I am used to with Windows XP. I have Photoshop 4 & 6 and when I tried to load them, it kept asking for me to insert disk (which I already have done).

I decided to purchase Roxio 2009 (because it said it would work with my OP) but even though it loaded and I can use it sometimes, it freezes too. I have tried to figure out why and it all comes back to the OP system I have.

I also have a Kodak printer that is wireless and that also will not work correctly due to my op system.

I also uploaded firmware from the software companies for my OP and it still is not working.
