Greetings

I posted a lengthy explanation of my problem with HTML Editor yesterday -- and when I checked on it later it appears to have been removed by someone.

OK fine -- forget the details -- ONE question -- Coffeecup, are you planning to fix various programs so that they WILL work like they are supposed to under Vista?

Love your products, but they aren't much good to me as long as I'm stuck with Vista.

I did not see your original post, but...
My hosting service struck a deal with coffeecup software, so I use it for what it's worth.
After letting my web site fester for a few years, I decided to resurrect it and add a shopping cart as well. I installed coffee cup software on my Vista Home Premium laptop as I need/want a multi-monitor layout to get comfortable with my web edits. Having a web browser, FTP program, image editor, document editor, and HTML editor all open at the same time, I want the most screen real estate available!

My CC HTML Editor 2008 build 242 seems to work fine under Vista Home Premium. However CC Visual Site Designer will not even start under Vista.

I have only started to look for some help with this, but saw your post and wanted to put in my $.02.

This can happen even if you are running as an Administrator, and it is caused by Vista's very strict security settings.

To fix this, right-click your Visual Site Designer shortcut icon and select Run as Administrator. This should properly launch Visual Site Designer for you. If it does, great! You can continue to launch the program in this way, or you can go a step further and configure the shortcut to always run as administrator. Here's how:

1. Right-click the shortcut icon, and click Properties.
2. Click the Compatibility tab.
3. Here, put a check mark by Run This Program as an Administrator.
4. Next, put a check mark next to Run This Program in Compatibility Mode For: and ensure Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 is selected.
5. Click OK.


If you continue having problems you may also need to set the application as an exception to Vista's Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature. Normally if this is the culprit, you'll get a little bubble along the taskbar notifying you, which will allow you to set the offender as an exception.

One last option that could be the cause of this, and related to the DEP feature, is User Account Controls. This is the large window that appears in Vista asking you to "Allow" or "Deny" access to functions within programs. You can turn this off within your Control Panel > User Accounts window, along the left-hand pane.

All three options let you control your system exactly how you want and give you full access to do/run anything on the computer.
