Re: [Dx4win] Windows 7
You need to do the install as administrator. However, I don't believe you have to set it to Run as Administrator. In any case you may want to disable UAC... it's a pain in the neck and not really necessary on a home computer.

I installed it as C:/dx4win803 as it suggests. I right clicked before installing and set RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR for the LPT driver installer, the MS redistributable installer and DX4WIN. I set the application as RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR once installed. Is this the way it runs (with an annoying pop up every time you start it) or did I miss something ?

[Dx4win] DX4WIN on Windows 7 working now
Hi All, After everyone told me they didn't run as Admin, right click to get at that, etc, I uninstalled it again. It was about 12 attempts in two days. I downloaded DX4WIN again from the US site as the last time. This time I just ran it like I did with HRD, N1MM. I just double clicked like we install on XP . I had read in the archive about running DX4WIN as Admin. I installed DX4WIN , and received that yellow window again that said User Access Control at the top. This did not happen with N1MM or HRD. I clicked to go ahead. I then installed the MS C+++ and got a blue window asking to go ahead and clicked yes (I had gotten this before too) I then started DX4WIN 8.03 with no more pop ups or boing noises. I don't know what changed other than I didn't do the run as admin. Was that information in the archive superseded when 8.03 or the actual Win 7 was released ? Maybe it was from the RC ? The only difference is the DX4WIN icon does still show a blue shield on it whereas the Firefox etc don't . It seems normal now. The reason I did this was to try this out and see if it's worth changing. I actually don't care for the see through bars in the applications but I think I read those can be shut off.
