I recently got a new laptop with Vista and downloaded the newest Datamaster, and after trying to set it up and authorize it, I got errors. I E mailed TTS and got a nice response from them as how to make it work. It was in a word document so I will copy and paste it here because after a nice search I couldn't find any answers. So here it is......
To install DataMaster on a PC running Vista:
Before running the setup program right click on it. Select Properties from the list and then click the Compatibility tab. From there, pick the default Windows XP SP2, click on the 'Apply' button and then click on the 'OK' button.
Now run the setup program to install the DataMaster program.
Registering DataMaster:
In order for the registration tab to work it must be clicked while using as Administrator user. Otherwise it returns a corrupt database error message (invalid signature).
Trial Runs:
In order to use the 20 free trial runs, you need to invoke the registration form while logged in as administrator. This will generate the initial registration database and allow the trial runs to activate. Otherwise it returns a corrupt database error message (invalid signature).
I also found that on the "Compatibility tab" at the bottom, that is where you check the "Administrator" box.
HTH any one who was woried about useing Vista. :2cents:
