After migration to Windows Vista x64 I’ve found that I can’t access anymore my passwords stored by Password Minder (original site), a small tool I’m using to keep my passwords safe. It goes down when you want to launch it. For sure, it is a x64 compatibility problem.

Fortunately, it is coming with source code. In a matter of minutes I had the Password Minder compiled for x64 target and running without any issues on my dev box.

Mission complete, passwords saved!

Lesson learned: don’t forget, you’re a developer. Don’t be afraid to use big guns outside of your work :)
