Fun Things I am finding with Vista

Well, I needed a harder working system, I got it, but BOY, Vista is fun(SARCASM).
I thought i'd write it down my problems and solutions, in case- it helps anyone else.


First of all, Vista is a nanny computer when it comes to installing programs. If you put the program in the dvd/cd player and it does it autorun thing and then the install guide pops up with click here to install, so you do and a mean window comes saying this "action requires elevation" Huh? What it means, is you are not seen as the admin. The Go around is open the program file on dvd/cd, find the install file, right-click, choose "run as admin" and be prepared to answer several more windows of are you sure, are you really sure, are you absolutely really sure- urgh, so close to shutting off The UAC(yeah -that's what its called User Account Control). Or maybe until i've uploaded all my old programs- and speaking of which

Comicswork 1.0 will not install on Vista- apparently, it doesnt like the msi installer- the work around- a google search led me here and yes it does work. Take the entire SE file and place it into the programs file of your Vista Computer. Open the SE file, look for the comicswork App file-should have little cat head next to it. Right click it, choose run as admin, feed your serial number in and you are ready to run. Close program, click on cat head, choose create short cut- window comes up and says "do you want it on desktop" say yes, and you now can click thru to Comicswork!

The Third but not last problem with Vista- Where is my "move to" or "copy to" function when i right click on a file. Argh- it's gone!! NO!!! Have no fear, it's here-

Anyway, hope these help someone. Vista is pain but the speed and lots more ram and new chip is worth it.
