disabling user account control
Windows Vista has a serious bug that causes some folders to be set to 'read-only' without your permission. This makes it impossible for Baseball Mogul to output a box score file (or game recap). Furthermore, if you turn off the 'read-only' setting for the box score folder, Vista will turn the setting back on without telling you. Many other software developers are struggling with this issue, and we all hope that Microsoft fixes this bug with the next major release to Vista.
In the meantime, the only work-around that seems effective is turning off User Account Control. Here's how you do it:
1. Click the Windows icon in the lower right and then click 'Control Panel'.
2. Click 'User Accounts and Family Safety'.
3. Click 'User Accounts'.
4. Click 'Turn User Account Control on or off'.
5. Uncheck 'Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer'.
6. Click the 'OK' buttom.
7. Windows will require that you restart your computer for this change to take effect. Click 'OK.
If this doesn't work, ask Microsoft for a refund for Windows Vista and use the money to buy a copy of Windows XP. No, we are not kidding. When we release software with bugs, our users aren't shy about letting us know about it. When Microsoft release a buggy operating system, they need to hear complaints from as many people as possible.
