Scoring program and MS Vista

Post by villep »

Hi
Just to informe you.

I have tried the Scring software (2007_05) on Microsft Vista.
The program starts but when I try to generate a new Classic file I get an error saying
"Network initialization failed. Permission denied C:\PDOXUSRS.NET"

In order to get the program to work I need to start the program using the option "Run as Administrator".
I have not found any problems using Vista when I run as administrator.

Best regards

Hello,

I know about that one... but didn't find the solution change it at install time...
You can :
- login as administrator
- go to Vista's configuration panel
- Find and start "BDE Administrator"
- On Tab Sheet "Configuration,
in the left panel go in "Configuration" +-> Driver +-> Native +-> Paradox
- Click on Paradox: you will find in the right panel :
NET DIR : change C:\ to C:\BDE (directory that you have to create manually before)
- Type ENTER key to validate input, and click on blue arrow to "apply changes"
- Log to normal user
- try to start the Scoring programm...

I hope it is enough to have it working.
Please, let me know if it works.

Emmanuel
