My recollections from my limited experience with PowerPro and Vista was that: 1. It must be installed by an Administrator 2. It must be configured so that it runs as an Administrator 3. In order to use a program that runs as an Administrator, the user using it must also be an Administrator. Each time starting it, the user must approve that PowerPro runs as an Administrator. With modification, it would be possible to have the part where PowerPro gets configured to Run as an Administrator be part of the installation. Since that's not there, you have to right-click the shortcut or exe in Explorer, and select that this App always runs as Administrator (something like that). You would not want to click the option to start PowerPro at the conclusion of installation. or User Account Control (UAC) must be disabled. I don't think that is possible with the Home edition of Vista. If UAC is disabled, I believe installation and use would be similar to XP. Regards, Sheri
