Michel,

As an experiment, turn off the UAC (User Account Control) which is the 
Vista security system. Does that make a difference?

Or it could be the DEP problem. If so, you could try one of these 
suggestions from Christopher Neumann:

I tried both options
UAC = on (DDEP on or off) --> No Start (no response)
UAC = off (DEP on or off) --> Start but on the 1st action :
"dBASE has encountered an internal or operating system error"

I'm a bit frustrated
Michel

have you tried to right click on the dbase icon, and select "run as 
administrator" ?

2.6.0 had some mouse issues with Vista. These have been addressed in a 
later version, but it may require purchasing an upgrade.
