Re: [amibroker] windows 7 64-bits

[-= Chris =- <baudec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the BIG issue introduced with Vista.

Either turn off User Account Control, or run the program as Administrator.

I think this feature was in XP Pro, but turned off by default, in Vista, it was turned on by default, hence the shock to new users.

Go to [Control Panel]>[User Account] and turn off User Account Control. Albeit, some rogue program could execute an exe file without your authorization. BUT if you turn that off, you are now more in an XP world.

Otherwise, and maybe the safer mode, is to execute the program in Administrator mode, which in effect YOU are, as this is a PC at home, and not in a public office environment.

Do look at Total Commander as an Explorer replacement, and check the boxes under properties to [X] Run as Admin....

Your choice.

All 32 bit applications do go by default to the <x86> program folder on a 64 bit system.
