MS v89 Compatibility Issue with Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2

So after a 2 year break from Maple, I decided to play again just for fun on weekends. During this 2 year break, I upgraded from an old, slow desktop to a much faster desktop in July 2009.

Problem is, whenever I hit start game, Windows tells me compatibility issues exist between Vista and Maple. Going by other forum posts I've seen, I hit "Run Program" anyway, which then results in "MapleStory has stopped working; Check Online for Solutions and Close the Program OR Close the Program." This still happens even after setting MapleStory.exe to run in compatibility mode for XP Service Pack 2 and setting MS to run under administrator privileges. I've also tried adding exceptions to my antivirus and firewall (Microsoft Security Essentials), and turning it off all together with the same result.
Details of failure below:

Is there ANY other way to get Maple working? I've been confined to my netbook with XP on there and I'll be honest, playing Maple on a system with a Intel Atom N270, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, and a integrated GMA 950 IS NOT FUN

I've provided specs of my computer below:

Specs of my computer:

Please help?
Thanks!

First off MSE shouldn't be saying GMS has a virus so you can remove the exception. In fact it shouldn't be interfering at all with it.

You may want to do the following:

In the System Properties page of Control Panel, click the Advanced tab, click the Performance Settings button, navigate to Data Execution Prevention tab, and click the button that says Turn on DEP for all programs. Why? This should help generate a better crash report from Windows.

Secondly, try running MapleStory in Native Vista SP2 without Compatibility. HackShield will actually prevent MapleStory from starting up if attempted to run in Compatibility Mode. Remember we don't have GameGuard any more.

Third, long shot this may be...

Check and see if you have every update from Microsoft's WindowsUpdate. Also check and see if you have the latest Nvidia GeForce Mobility driver, motherboard drivers, and any other drivers if possible, and update if necessary.

Also, try re-downloading MapleStory and re-installing. Delete all the old MapleStory files and folders and re-install from scratch.

If the system also asks to run the program anyway from the Compatibility pop-up, select Do Not Show This Message Again box the re-run the program.

Thank you Jamie_Kurosawa!

All I did was turn off compatibility like you said...and Maple started running fine! Of all the things, never knew it could be that simple LOL

Thanks again

You're welcome.
