If I remember correctly, 3.2.0 uses shared memory for rxapi. The Vista and later security won't let a user open a shared memory handle. This is why for Vista, we recommend always installing rxapi as a service.
1.) You shouldn't have this problem if you try it with 4.0.0 and later. 2.) For 3.2.0 open up a command prompt with the runas admin option, then work from there. I think that will work. 3.) If you have an admin ID, you can give yourself the DEBUG privilege, which should also work. Let me know if you want details on that, I'd have to look it up. If course, you can not have 3.2.0 run from the memory stick if you already have another verison of ooRexx installed on the system. That will never work. -- Mark Miesfeld On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 10:39 AM, Gil Barmwater <gbarmwa...@alum.rpi.edu> wrote: > Well, it wasn't so good for me :-( I copied my old (2007) ooRexx 3.2 > from my laptop to my stick, put it into my desktop - HP 64-bit, VISTA - > did the path thing and typed 'rexx rexxtry.rex'.
