Longtime subscriber M.Y. Choy wrote to ask, after a recent email newsletter article “Should I Choose Vista or Windows XP?”:

Dear Terry, the above topic appeared on your 13 May Newsletter.

Unfortunately, I have already switched to Vista and have found this problem i.e. after installing Acronis Disk Director Suite V.10 successfully, I cann’t start the program. Vista “said” that:- “E000101F4: Not enough privileges. You do not have enough privileges to start Acronis Disk Director Suite”

Why Vista allowed us to install the program but denied us to start the program??. Beside this, there are other problems such as “missing” drivers. I donot think many people would start switching to Vista. I regretted doing that.

By the way, is there any way to bypass that annoying ” donot have enough privilege ….” thingy?? Best regards. M. Y Choy

It’s really a simple step to bypass this security warning…

One of the newsletters I read each week is the Clif Notes Newsletter.

This week, Clif had a link to a great Vista cartoon at ctrlaltdel-online.com.

Thanks for the grin, Clif. I’m pretty sure anyone trying to change to Vista is going to recognize the feeling.

ZDNet has an interesting article by David Berlind about Intuit’s Quickbooks and its incompatibility with Windows Vista.

More interesting is George Ou’s article, quoted and linked from there, that puts the problem squarely on Intuit — who apparently decided long ago not to make the application capable of getting certified for Windows XP. Unfortunately, those same things that were “no-no’s” in Windows XP are now blocked in Windows Vista. Seems like Intuit was sending communications to other applications via the Windows Registry…
