New: Use MuRa plugins with Vista
Sat, 1 Mar 2008 06:15:10 -0500
This is a copy/paste from Harry Heim's 'Plugin Site' newsletter:"There have

been a lot of reports from people who were trying to make
 the MuRa's Filter Meister plugins (http://mura.hey.to) work under Windows
 Vista, but did not manage to. Unfortunately the author of these
 plugins cannot be contacted, so he cannot be asked to update them. There 
are
 also several other plugin created with FilterMeister which have been
 more or less abandoned. As it is not quite legal to provide downloads of
 modified version of these plugins, I and Alex Hunter from
 FilterMeister.com decided to provide a tool that lets people modify these 
plugins to
 make them work again under Vista. For more information on this tool
 called FM Patcher see below.FM PATCHER 1.0: Makes FilterMeister plugins 
Vista-compatible-------------------------------------
FM Patcher is a small application for making .8bf Photoshop plugins
 work under Windows Vista. However, FM Patcher only modifies plugins that
 were created with older versions of FilterMeister. Photoshop plugins
 that were not created with FilterMeister cannot be made Vista-compatible
 with this tool.
Normally developers just need to recompile their plugins with the
 latest FilterMeister release to make them Vista-compatible. Unfortunately
 some developers abandon their plugins. So we decided to create FM Patcher
 to enable users of these old plugins to make them work under Vista.
At the moment FM Patcher does not fix the problem that old
 FilterMeister plugins have with activated Data Execution Prevention (DEP). 
You
 still need to deactivate DEP in your control panel or place your graphics
 application on the DEP exclusion list.
