Like any operating system, however, Vista has its quirks. Here are a couple of things that you should know about Vista: 1) Which Level Our recommendation is that you use AnyBook Level IV program or higher with Vista. The lower levels (Levels I, II and III) do run on Vista, but they are slower. 2) The Help System Microsoft does not include a key help file with Vista. For the life of us, we can not understand why Microsoft would do this. This small file is required to run the help systems of hundreds of programs which run just fine on XP (and all other previous operating systems). Yet they do not include it. We would be very happy to provide the file in our installation program. That way, you wouldn't have to worry about it, but Microsoft won't allow developers to include the file. Instead, they require you, the user, to go to their website and download the file. Most software developers agree with me that it is complete and utter arrogance on Microsoft's part. They seem to have forgotten something very important in business: their customers. At any rate, we'll get off our soap box. You'll notice that when you try to access the help system in AnyBook, you'll get an operating system message. That's Microsoft's message telling you that you need to download a file needed to run the help system. We can be of some help here. Instead of you having to trigger the operating system message, let us provide you with a direct link the Microsoft's download area: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=82148 Go to the above link. You'll find instructions there on how to download the needed file. This will fix things and allow you to use AnyBook's help system. Let us know if you have any trouble downloading Microsoft's file -- Unlike Microsoft, we're glad to help and we won't charge $59 (that's what Microsoft now charges per call for Visa support.) 3) Vista's Annoying Messages There are many security enhancements in Windows Vista that some users will find annoying. Here is a tip on how to remove messages which are constantly popping up and preventing you from efficiently doing your work. Note. You do not need to make these changes to run AnyBook. AnyBook is Vista compatible and will run fine on Vista without these changes. We are providing this information simply for those of you who would like to tweak their systems and get rid of Vista's annoying messages. Microsoft does not recommend changing these settings, and if you don't mind the messages, then leave your system as is. Also, please be aware that if you do make changes, we are not responsible for problems that might arise. What are these message? These are the annoying messages that ask for your permission, and even an administrator password, to perform some operations. The messages include: • Windows needs your permission to continueTo make these messages stop appearing you need to turn off the “User Account Control:” 1. Click Start-Control Panel. 5. Click OK. You may need to restart your computer to make the changes effective.If one or more of the messages shown above continue to appear you’ll need to change two security policies on your computer: 1.
