[Kmymoney-devel] Comments about KMyMoney

Hi Alvaro,

In the meantime good news - here's the text of my reply to Allan:

Hi Allan,

Thanks for the quick response.

I downloaded kmymoney-x86-setup-4.6.4.exe from sourceforge.net.

However, pleased to report that I have cracked the problem in the last couple of minutes - the AHA! moment was when I found that the program only starts if you "Run as an administrator". Simple when you know how.

I checked it on my "other" laptop - also running Windows7 64 bit - and the same applies.

On either machine, if run in "user" mode nothing noticeable happens, other than maybe a bit of a tick from an HDD.

Although I've been using Windows 7 for around 5 years, I still keep the admin / user demarcation from XP days. I find that having to type in a password rather than just (unthinkingly) clicking on what could be a major system change gives an extra bit of security.

I didn't see anything about using admin mode in the installation guide - could I suggest mentioning this somewhere?

Thanks again - I've been looking for something to replace MS Money for a good few years so I'm really pleased to have found this program.

Alec

Hello Alec,
What's the output if you try to run it from a terminal?

Regards,
Alvaro
