I've just got a new vista pc and I'm trying to put software on it as you
would expect.
But it's not really cooperating. I think it's a UAC thing.
It sounds like a good idea and while I'm plenty competent enough to have run
my own and company PCs for years, I'm prepared to be treated like a child by
an "artificial" intellegence for a quiet life, if it knows when to take it's
medicine.
But there, Anything and Everything autorunning from DVD or even chosen
through an interface to install won't ! autorun puts up the beginning screen
(for game say) I press install and it just peters out! but the vast majority
setups claim directory invalid. which is no surprise.
already spent 2 hours wondering why many directorys that are there, aren't
there lol. I preferred everything being treated like admin, then at least I
could run programs.
Even software on CDs that came from supplier with machine today!
With a few small things I dwnldd from the net I could install them (not from
the download directory - invalid) but after copying them to programfiles they
work fine.
I'm not doing that with every dvd.
Less of this petering out business They don't give an error or anything.
Just stop running.
And I can't tell how many are hanging because I can't see the tasklist. run
that from the command line and it comes up then disappears into the distance
like a fart in a typhoon! had to download and install from programfiles
processexplorer. (They are not hanging)
