Ellen
G. White® Writings 2005 CD-ROMs Vista Patch
The
Ellen G. White Writings Basic Family Edition 2005
and Ellen G. White Complete Published Edition 2005 CD-ROMs,
tho' not natively compatible, can be installed and run in
Vista, Microsoft's new OS. Both CDs work normally under
Vista AFTER downloading, installing and running our HLV
Vista patch.
To
be able to install your 2005 EGW CDs while using MS Vista
OS, the White Estate has made available a Vista installer
utility. It allows owners of our Ellen G. White Writings
Basic Family Edition 2005 and Complete Published
Edition 2005 to install their CD-ROMs onto Microsoft's
new Windows Vista Operating System.
Please
read carefully the instructions below on how to install
the patch:
- First,
download the HLV Compatibility utility: HLV
Vista Patch (5MB)
- Second,
temporarily disable all
anti-virus, spyware and internet security software, such as
AVG's, McAfee's, Norton's, Panda's, Trend Micro's or Zone
Alarm's various security suites. These can block the HLV Compatibility
utility from running. Note: We advise that
you first disconnect your computer from the internet before
doing this.
- Third,
open HLV_Vista.zip, then open the HL Vist Fix folder. Next,
start the utility setup file in Administrator Mode (right
click the setup.exe and click "Run as administrator").
Next, 'double click' on the Setup file and it will install
the "HLV" Vista Compatibility Utility. The installation
program will set up a Desktop Icon for the HLV Utility on
your computer's desktop.
- Last,
to install the EGW Family/Complete 2005 copy-protected discs,
first run the HLV Compatibility program from its desktop icon,
and in the open window click the "Enable Vista Compatibility"
button. You can now insert the EGW 2005 CD and install the
software as normal. Upon rebooting your computer
the HLV Compatibility utility will no longer be running. So
if you ever need to re-install your EGW 2005 software onto
MS Vista, you will need to re-run this utility.
Note:
Coming soon will be a new 2007 version of our CDs that
will be completely MS Vista compatible. Although there will
be no new content as such, every Folio Views infobase has had
major revision work done. We now have in house a working beta
version of the new EGW Complete Published 2007 CD. We are finalizing
the code in the next few weeks and hope shortly to announce
a possible release date in the fall. The White Estate will continue
to work towards total product support for the Microsoft Windows
Vista operating system.
