Recommendations

A.

To install the IDtech applications, you must be a member of the Windows administrator group of the computer.

Go to: Start / Control Panel / User accounts and check if the user has administrator rights. If you have no administrator rights, the installation will not be done properly. If necessary ask your administrator to grant you the administrator rights during this installation. B. We recommend installing the application on a different drive (for example D), than the system drive (general C drive).

If you ever encounter problems with Windows, and you would need to reinstall it, you will more easily recover your database when it is on a different drive. If your computer has only one drive, ask your administrator to create a new partition. C. Windows Vista.

Our products (IDtech version 6.5.2 and above and MaxDB delivered with) are compatible with Vista. Some recommendations are recommended. Disable User Account Control (UAC). This will affect all users on your computer. Click Start / Control Panel. Click User Accounts and Family Safety. Click User Accounts. Click Turn User Accounts on or off. Click the tick on the box beside the UAC to help protect your computer. Click OK. When asked and restart your computer
