FlightPrep Applications and Windows Vista, 7, 8 Compatibility
Microsoft's latest operating systems introduced a new user interface, new security enchantments,
and a program called User Access Control (UAC) to help protect users from
viruses, mal-ware, spy-ware, and to keep network users from changing or
installing files or programs. As a result some special settings are needed in
order for FlightPrep applications to be fully utilized.

How to Turn off User Access
Control (UAC): FlightPrep suggests that you turn OFF your User Access Control
(UAC) Feature in Windows Vista, 7, and 8 due to the constant pop ups and memory resources
that the UAC creates and consumes. To Turn off the UAC: Please go into Control
Panel, Select [User Accounts], Select your User Name, One of the options under
your user name is to turn off UAC. Once you have turned off UAC you MUST reboot
your computer for the changes to take effect. |
