Windows 7 Professional

[Richard Kreiss]

Are you logged in as an administrator?

As is often said, because one can do something, doesn't make it right.

Although my laptop is just for my use, and I do the no no of logging in with
admin privileges, filePro is installed as c:\appl.  When installing filePro
on a server, even on a drive other than c:\. I always place everything in
its on folder(directory) and then map the workstations to the drive\folder
with a drive letter.  

On my own system, the filepro executables are on drive mapped as t:\fp56 and
filepro is on a separate drive \programs mapped as W:\

I use a similar setup for each of my clients.  I have found that using drive
letters rather the unc runs the application much faster.
