Vista Info

Windows Vista/Windows 7 information:

All ARC software under Vista/Windows 7 must be installed and run with full administrative rights.

Instructions for setting Vista administrative rights:

- install the software
- do not start the software yet!
- click 'Computer' on your desktop
- in the 'Folder' section click on 'C:'
- locate the software installation folder ( usually program files/butel/ )
- right click on the program file (ARC icon) and select properties.
- select 'compatibility' tab
- locate the option 'run as administrator' and tick that option.
- confirm by clicking ok.
- you can now start the program

The following software packages have been tested under Vista/7 32 bit and work ok but are not offcially supported under Vista:

ARC2 for Icom IC-R2
ARC3 for Icom IC-R3
ARC780 for Uniden (U)BC780XLT
ARC5000 for AOR AR5000 series
ARC8200 for AOR AR8200 series
ARC8600 for AOR AR8600 series

To use these software packages you need either Windows 98/ME/NT/2000 or XP. The use of the above packages with Vista/7 is the users risk.
These packages will not work under Vista/7 64 bit versions.

All other ARC software packages should work fine under Vista/7 since our development software is fully supported by Microsoft under Vista/7. If you use ARC Virtual Control you need to install this Vista patch 932406 to avoid screen problems.
