Vista Problems:
 
Shareware version: during the shareware period before you purchase a license, vista users will get two (2) dll errors  during the start of most of our shareware programs.  It is because of the delay verifying if you have a licensed version or not.  This error does not effect the use of the program in anyway and it will go away - once you purchase and activate the full version of the software.
 
 

New with Vista:
being the new operating system on the block it has some features that cause problems for standard programs. That would normally work fine in XP or Win98.

Here is a list of things you can do to make your normal application run more smoothly in Vista.

Try each step one at a time, test the software, then if you have to advance to the next step.


*** Many of the utilities including the backup systems found in the utilities section of our programs will not work, unless you turn off the UAC. - learn more at Step 3


Step 1


1. When you install the program - do not install it in the program files folder - instead try using a none standard folder name.  In case of our applications.  I suggest you to replace the install location "program files" to omegamagnus.

Example:
normal install location:
 c:\program files\black book se

new vista install location:
 c:\omegamagnus\black book se

This can be chosen from the install menu during the installation.



Step 2.

Right click on the program icon and choose properties.

    vista help

Click on the Compatibility Tab (found on top of menu)

vista help compatibility

Check Mark the following as shown above:

(check mark) Run this program in compatibility mode for:
Windows XP (service pack 2)


Privilege Level:
(check mark) Run this program as an administrator.

Click on the Apply Button and then OK

Your program will work, but you will need to click ok each time you run the application.

Step 3. Turn off the UAC

A. go to windows button, control panel, User Accounts




Click on "Turn User Account Control on or off"
Click "Continue" button



Uncheck: Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer.

Click on the "OK" button

"Restart Now" button, and let it restart your computer.

This last step will usually allow most XP applications to work normally in vista.


Turn off User Account Control Warning!

Once you have logged back on your system:

click on the red shield icon



On left side of menu sample shown above -
click on Change the way Security Center alerts me.



Don't notify me, but display the icon - ( is a good choice.)

Don't notify me and don't display the icon - takes away all warnings dealing with the Windows Security Center.  ( Basically if you want the messages to go away, and the red shield to go away.  Then click on this choice.)
