Windows Vista and Windows 7!

We at All American SportsWare warmly welcome these new editions of the Microsoft Windows Operating System family. Microsoft has made great advancement in the basic security of your computer, and at the same time, has corrected some old flaws in the design of Windows.
However, with all new changes, there are often unexpected and unintented side-effects, and some of these have cause some issues when running our software on the Windows Vista and Windows 7.

We have gathered the most useful information here to help you resolve any issues that you experience.

General Issues

The one most important solution: Log into Windows as "Administrator" before installing.

Microsoft's "UAE" system is supposed to be able to "elevate" a normal user to have administrator priviledges when necessary. However, we have found that if you are logged into Windows as a normal user and then install LAS, some settings are not placed correctly.
You should log into Windows with a user account that is in the "Adminstrators" group before you install LAS.
Doing so solves nearly all the problems our customers have encountered on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Sometimes, our report previewer has problems running on Windows Vista and Windows 7

For more detail on resolving this problem, see the following Frequently Asked Questions:

• Why doesn`t the report preview work on Windows Vista?
• Why does this dialog box keep appearing warning that "The publisher could not be verified" when I try to view reports?

Permissions Issues between LAS and Windows Vista/Windows 7

Windows Folder Permissions Fix for LAS

If you have received error 111, or other "File Access Denied" or "The disk may be write protected" errors, then it is likely that when you installed LAS, Windows Vista prevented it from properly setting the access rights for your data folder. Follow these directions to correct that problem, and enable LAS to run correctly:

• Click on the link below
• Save the linked file to a place on your computer (the desktop is fine).
• Then Right click the file icon and choose "Run as Administrator"
• Confirm any dialogs that ask if you're sure
• and LAS should be ready to run.
