    I'm trying to install a mobile-pc sync program for an ancient Sony Ericsson mobile phone T68i which is no longer available. A dinosaur in mobile phone terms.

    The installation cannot finish .. error message says .. "you must have at least NT4 Service Pack 3 installed"

    I've got service pack 2 installed on Vista.

    Is it simply that this (old) software which ran on Windows NT is incompatible with Vista?

    I could try installing sync software on wine on ubuntu.

    Vista has compatibility modes, but don't remember if it went back farther than XP.

    As to Ubuntu, while it MAY work, more likely, it's not going to. Check the WineHQ website compatibility section to see if the app (and version) is listed. IF it's not, it's likely NOT to work. Also, even if the app does install, there is always the issue of Drivers -- a common Linux weakness (not just Ubuntu).
