Vista and Windows 7 Operating Systems
Additional steps may be required for
installing TagIt Manager software
on a computer
with the Vista or Windows 7 operating system:
|
| TagIt Manager software is based on Paradox 10 Runtime
which is not fully compatible with Vista or
Windows 7.
(If the instructions below do not
work and you have a 64-bit operating system,
see
important additional notes.)
|
| First, download both TagIt Manager and Paradox
10 Runtime. After installing both,
the following additional steps may be required. |
|
Select Compatibility
Mode |
First try to set the
compatibility mode. Then try
restarting our software program. |
|
Help Files |
If you get this far,
the software is working but pressing F1
for help files does not work.
Vista or Windows 7 may give you the information you
need to solve this. If not, see
this section. |
|
Other information |

information to calm your mind when using
Vista. |
|
I have already entered
lots of items. Now what? |
If you entered lots
of items before setting the
compatibility mode, you need to follow
special instructions so that you do not
lose your data. |
|
|
Select Compatibility Mode |
| Note: Since
Paradox 10 Runtime is considered an older
program by Vista or Windows 7, it works best if Vista
or Windows 7 runs
the program in a compatibility mode for XP. |
| 1. Right click on the
desktop icon for TagIt Manager.
2.
Click on Properties. |
 |
| 3. Click on Compatibility
tab. (If you receive an error message, see
the note about
64-bit
operating systems.) 4. Check box to "Run this program
in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows
XP (Service Pack 2)
5. Check the box to "Run this program
as an administrator." |
 |
| |
|
| Help
Files |
| Note: The
context-sensitive help files for this software
use an older Windows help program that is no
longer included with Vista. It must be
downloaded separately. |
| Open the TagIt Manager
program and press F1. Vista will probably
notify you that the help files are based on an
older program and provide a link for you to
download the program. |
| If not, try this link: |
Download winhlp32.exe for Vista |
| For additional information: |
Old help files not included with Vista |

| Exiting the program will result
in an error message. This is annoying but
does not cause any problems. |

What should I do not?
I have lots of data entered but I did not change
the compatibility mode to XP before starting.
Should I change it now? |
| If you have entered
items before changing the compatibility mode to
XP, the items may appear to disappear after
changing the compatibility mode because Windows
7 will look for the data in different folders.
If you want to change the compatibility mode and
save the old data, do the following: |
| 1. Make a
backup of your data before changing the
compatibility mode by going to File menu and
choosing Backup. (If you already changed
the compatibility mode and then noticed your
items were "missing", remove the check for "Run
this program in compatibility mode". Your
data should be visible again. Then do the
backup.) 2. Change the compatibility
mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or 3) and
check "Run this program as an adminsitrator" as
explained in an earlier section.
3. Open TagIt. Assuming your old
data is not visible, go to File menu and choose
Restore. Choose the backup file you
created in step 1 above.
4. Hopefully all is well! |
