10 points for anyone who can tell me what sound a duck makes.
Yes, that’s right, something remarkably like ‘UAC’. Which happend to be the acronym for Vista’s new security framework – User Access Control. That’s the framework which gives you those popup windows every time you try to do something.
One of the more annoying (to us) parts of UAC is the way it handles programs which try to start when you log on to Windows. If the program hasn’t SPECIFICALLY been written for Vista (i.e. inside the program’s innards, there isn’t a magical line of code saying ‘hey, I know what UAC is and I play nice’), then the program won’t be allowed to run.
This was the case with the backup agent in Altexa Backup. Until build 808, that is smiley
Oh, and we now digitally sign our executable files – it’s another step forward in our security process…you can now be sure as soon as you download our programs that they are from us. The installer is signed by ‘Altexa LLC’, and each individual program is, too.
