Hello,

I manage to successfully install designbuilder on my pc (which runs with Windows Vista) but when i try to open the program it doesnt allow me to. I get an icon asking me if i want to close the program or find a solution to it.
Downloading again with the same or different registry info doesnt help.

Can you please help me on the matter?

Thank you. Confused

Simple

Un-install Designbuilder, switch off the PC.

Switch on the PC, Re-install Designbuilder and set the compatability settings by right clicking the icon selecting properties, then select compatability settings tick the XP mode.

The secret is to set the compatability mode before running the program. Vista seems to remember that a program did not run previously and will not allow the program to be run again even if the compatability settings are subsequently altered without a clean install (switch off).

This is also required for older versions of Autocad etc.
