Could it be because I have my UAC turned off? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2009#post-12302 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 13:50:46 +0000 BuBBy 12302@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Correct. "Run As Administrator" for activations on Vista. </p> <p>It is all to do with Vista failing to write registration settings if you are running the Activate.exe as an "ordinary" user. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2009#post-12300 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 13:18:51 +0000 Jaddis 12300@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Try right clicking on the both the activation file as well as the installation file and selecting "run as an administrator". This always works for me and it seems to work for others who are using Vista. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2009#post-12298 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 13:10:20 +0000 ivo 12298@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I'm using vista and I allways have problems with the installation. In wondershare case it´s asking me the registration code even when i runned the activation sofwtare. In an XP machine I didn´t have any problems and it runs ok. Do anyone has any solution for this? </p>
