Running PROVIEW under VISTA

DO THIS FIRST: IMPORTANT

On Vista machines with UAC turned on, Proview modules like PROWATCH, PROQUERY and so on may not be able to communicate with each other resulting in ‘Permission denied’ error message when user tries to run it. To solve this problem do the following.

Click on the Vista start button, under the ‘start search’ box, type in MSCONFIG and hit enter. A box should appear as below. Click on the ‘Tools’ tab and click on ‘Disable UAC’ then click on ‘Launch’. See red arrows. You will need to reboot/restart your machine. Proview modules should work normally after the reboot.

Alternatively, you can do it this way
