Vista Operating System
Additional steps may be required for
installing Pastoral Compensation software on a computer
with the Vista operating system:
|
| The Pastoral Compensation
Software is based on Paradox 10 Runtime version
which is not fully compatible with Vista.
After downloading and installing the software,
the following additional steps may be required.
I would appreciate your feedback at
info@manygifts.org. Please let me know
if these steps work for you or whether other
steps are required.
|
Select Compatibility
Mode |
First try to set the
compatibility mode. Then try
restarting our software program.
If it works, skip the next section. |
|
Setting the Net
Directory |
Try this if selecting
a compatibility mode does not do the
trick. |
|
Help Files |
If you get this far,
the software is working but pressing F1
for help files does not work.
Vista may give you the information you
need to solve this. If not, see
this section. |
| Other information |

information to calm your mind when using
Vista. |

|
Select Compatibility Mode |
| Note: Since
Paradox 10 Runtime is considered an older
program by Vista, it works best if Vista runs
the program in a compatibility mode for XP. |
| 1. Right click on the
desktop icon for Salary Guidelines. 2.
Click on Properties. |
 |
| 3. Click on Compatibility
tab. 4. Check box to "Run this program
in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows
XP (Service Pack 2)
5. Check the box to "Run this program
as an administrator." |
 |
| |
|
Setting the Net Directory using the BDE
Administrator |
| Note: This
section may not be necessary if the program
works after setting the compatibility moded
above. If not, try this section also.
(The
default location for the net directory is in the
root directory. Vista does not allow this
and so the default location must be changed.) |
| 1. From the Start Menu
open the Control Panel and select Additional
Options. |
 |
| 2. Select and open BDE
Administrator. |
 |
| 3. Click on the
Configuration tab. 4. Open the
directories by clicking on Configuration,
Drivers, Native, and then Paradox. When
you are done, Paradox should be selected and
highlighted. |
 |
| 5. Click on the Browse
button (...) and select c:\program files\psg.
(This assumes you have installed to the default
directory.) Close the BDE Administrator and
save the changes. |
 |
| |
|
| Help
Files |
| Note: The
context-sensitive help files for this software
use an older Windows help program that is no
longer included with Vista. It must be
downloaded separately. |
| Open the Pastoral Compensation
program and press F1. Vista will probably
notify you that the help files are based on an
older program and provide a link for you to
download the program. |
| If not, try this link: |
Download winhlp32.exe for Vista |

| Exiting the program will result
in an error message. This is annoying but
does not cause any problems. |
