Guest Oddlimbs Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hello everyone, I am new here & also to Vista & I need a bit of help please!! I have bought 2 new PCs & an NAS unit to run my businesses Sage accounts program on one computer Windows (Vista Business) has appended a Windows "Security Shield" to the Sage desktop icon. This means that needs Sage needs UAC approval to run, despite the "Run as Administrator" in the Sage Icon's Properties/Shortcut/Advanced menu box being un-checked. It is also giving Sage problems accessing it’s data which is stored remotely. It would appear that Vista classifies programs and gives some of them a shield & not others, but why has it given Sage a shield on one computer, but not the other & how do I overide that classification? Thanks, Martin. Quote
Guest Sam Hobbs Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Have you asked the vendor of Sage?

Guest Oddlimbs Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Hi Sam, thanks for your response, yes I have spoken with Sage who have told me a work around - use a UNC network address instead of a mapped network drive i.e. \\Server\Accounts intead of S:. This works OK, but I want to know what is the difference between the 2 machines, something must be set differently!??
