Vista
has some trickier security measures than the other Windows
platforms
(e.g. XP, 2000).
One of those measures is the "User Account Control (UAC). Many
actions that you normally perform in Windows prior to Vista NOW require
Administrator privileges and so Vista will ask for permission
before it will continue with these tasks.
You will know if your "User Account Control"
is turned "on" if you have those warnings that "pop up"
each time to ask you if what you just did is something you really
wanted to do. (e.g. "You need to confirm this operation.") Or if when you are installing a program, your screen dims and this message appears, "An
unidentified program wants access to your computer".
Which type of Vista
user are you?
Click here if: You DO NOT have your, "User Account Control"
(UAC) turned, "On"
Click here if: You have your (UAC) turned "on" and you DO NOT
want to leave it "on"
You can turn the UAC "off", but by disabling the controls, it may cause some
other Vista programs to not function properly. Also Microsoft
recommends that you leave UAC turned on to help protect your
computer.
Please make an
informed decision by searching on the internet
(e.g. via Google, Vista forums) what
is best for you.
**Please do not
contact us for info about UAC - this is Microsoft Vista - not
the Vision Guider.**
If you do turn "off" the UAC, you can
download the Windows version of the Vision
Guider.
Click here if: You have your (UAC) turned "on" and you want to
leave it "on"
Unfortunately, there
are a few extra steps to use the Vision
Guider. You will need to follow the special instructions (listed in Steps 5
- 8) each time you use
it, otherwise error messages will appear when you attempt to use the Vision Guider. |
If you want to have the User Account Control "ON", please
continue to Step 4:
Step 4:
Please read
all the instructions below before clicking the "Download Now"
button.
 |
Once you
click the, "Download Now" button (listed
below), you will be shown a dialog box(like the one to the
left).
If you are using Internet Explorer, select
"Run".
If you are using Firefox,
select "Save" |
 |
If a browser Security
Warning dialog box appears (like shown to the left), you
will need to select, "Run" to install the Vision Guider.
|
 |
When the UAC screen appears, "An
unidentified program wants access to your computer",
please choose, "Allow - I trust this program. I know
where it is from or I've used it
before".
|
 |
Next, the Vision Guider Setup Wizard will
appear.
If you are using Firefox, you may need to
select, "Open" to make the Setup Wizard
appear.
Follow the instructions within the Vision
Guider Setup Wizard to complete the
download. |
After you are finished downloading:
Step 5:
On your
desktop, right-click on the Vision Guider desktop icon (it looks
like a sun)
Step
6:
Choose, "Run as
Administrator". This step is VERY IMPORTANT. Failure to
do this step will result in error messages from the Vision
Guider.
Step 7:
When the "User Account Control - An
unidentified program wants access
to your computer" appears, please choose,
"Allow - I trust this program. I know
where it is from or I've used it
before".
Step
8:
When the little sun icon appears in your system
tray (bottom right hand side of your screen), return to this page
and choose, "Vision Guider" in the menu at the top of this page.
The butterfly (the Vision Guider) should appear.
VERY IMPORTANT:
To use the Vision Guider demo at a later time, you will
need to repeat Steps 5 - 8 each time you want to use the
program. Failure to do Steps 5 - 8 will result in error messages.
Click here if you forgot to do Steps 5 - 8 and you are receiving error messages.
If you have opened the Vision Guider and did NOT right-click and choose, "Run as Administrator", you will receive the following error messages:
"Can not start Com manager of the app. Application will terminate!" and "Automation error. A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed."
1. Click, "ok" to remove the messages.
2. Right-click on the little sun icon (in your system tray - bottom right hand side of your screen), and choose, "Exit".
3. After confirming that you would like to exit the application, you will receive 9 other error messages (e.g "Object variable or With block variable not set", "Parameter not found", etc...).
4. Click, "ok" to remove the messages.
5. And then repeat Steps 5 - 8 to start the Vision Guider.
We apologize deeply for this huge inconvenience. It is an unfortunate result from the Vista Security (User Account Control - UAC).
