    Hallo Sue, i dont have any knowledge of vista so can offer no advice, try this site for this problem and many others too….
    If your disc has enough space try and partition, have xp and vista if it will allow….good luck with that. :)

    from some other forum not my contribution just copied and pasted

    I actually work for HP tech support. I spoke with a customer today
    that was having your issue. She had the trial of PopCap Games version
    of Family Feud and it worked fine. She purchased the full version from
    the website. After that, it gave her the error message “parental
    controls have prevented this application from running.” She had no
    parental controls set, so I was practically lost. After pulling my
    hair out for a while, I finally decided to try changing the
    compatibility settings to Windows XP SP2. To do this, follow the steps
    below.

    1. Find the executable file (familyfeud.exe)
    2. Right-click on it and select properties.
    3. Click on the compatibility tab at the top of the window.
    4. Put a checkmark in the box by “Run this program in compatibility
    mode for”
    5. Change the option in the dropdown to Windows XP SP2.
    6. Click “Apply” and “Ok”
    7. You should now be able to run the program just fine.
