Windows Vista:
Vista Mapped Drives issue
(All programs on Vista)
Windows Vista has a new security feature called User Account Control (UAC). When
Windows Vista is installed, UAC by default is turned ON. This means that Vista
is configured to use its new security features that are the main new feature of
Windows Vista. When UAC is turned on, and a program tries to perform an
operation that Vista thinks could "hurt" the Windows installation, it is
stopped. In many cases, Vista will prompt you with a dialog asking if it is ok
to perform this potentially harmful action. UAC can be turned ON/OFF under Start
| Control Panel, User Accounts, "Turn user account control on/off".
If UAC is turned ON, many programs will not display mapped drives (network)
when browsing for a folder. You can however manually type in a mapped drive
path.
Please check out our FAQ's
page for our programs.

- It is really easy to

the steps over in Safe Mode.
To get into the Windows 2000 / XP / Vista Safe mode, as
the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which
should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" Use your
arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.

If your computer is still slow, jamming and crashing and it
not a virus, try Registry Booster.
I personally use a 5 year old computer, which I beta test software on as
well as make all the libraries for the Pool Design Software
programs. I could not clear out the problem of jamming. I
tried everything, I was about to go out and purchase a new
computer till I found Registry Booster and Speed up my PC . Together they
clean, repair and
optimize your system's registry, maximize system performance and
most of all allow you to shut down programs running in the back
ground. I could see the difference with the first scan. I did go
as far as to repeat the process in safe mode. I can only tell
you my computer is running like new and worth the money.
