[Dxbase] Dx base and Vista

Wed Mar 3 18:55:58 EST 2010

Ive changed my Vista machine to Win7 about a week or 2 ago and although I had a little problem with Win7 when I loaded DxBase on Vista it all went smoothly with no problems.. Im not real crazy about having to run programs in administrator mode and Vista and 7 asking me if its ok but thats whats needed to make it all run properly.. 
It will work and it should have loaded with no problems but then again like has been said its my computer so im the boss and no crazy user accounts either..

Chris, 
I am using DXBase2007 on my Vista laptop without any significant 
problems, and I did not have to locate the DXB folder in a special 
location. Because of struggles with UAC (User Account Control) and 
other issues prior to installation of DXBase, I was already accessing my 
machine as the "administrator" (not just a named account with 
administrator privileges, but with the account named "administrator"), 
and with UAC disabled. DXB installed without issue in its normal place 
(C:\Program Files\Scientific Solutions), and it runs smoothly. That 
approach has worked extremely well for me.
