BookmarkingDemon Doesn’t Support Vista

I recently purchased BookmarkingDemon because I wanted a tool to help me social bookmark my sites. This is a process I could certainly do by hand, but anytime a software tool can speed things up, it’s sometimes worth the investment. Especially when you consider I’m only working part-time on my affiliate marketing business.

However it didn’t work for me. I was able to install it on my computer, but I can’t run the software. I’m running Windows Vista, and as it turns out, they don’t have good Vista support yet. Apparently some people have gotten it to work under Vista, but others including myself, have not been able to get it to work.

For the record, BookmarkingDemon’s technical support has been very fair and helpful in trying to resolve the issue. They’ve even offered to give me a refund.

I haven’t accepted the refund yet because I’m not sure if I want to keep the software. I was able to get it running on a Windows 2003 virtual machine I have under Microsoft’s VirtualPC software. I just really don’t find it very practical to have to launch a virtual machine just to run one piece of software. So I have to decide if I want to keep it and run it under a virtual machine, or if I should ask for the refund.

I’ll let you know what I decide in a future post.
