Right-Click for Vista x64?

Hello,
Has anyone been able to get RC to work on Ultimate x64? I have it installed, rebooted, it runs in task manager but, it doesn't work. I tried the 'virtualization?' enabled/disabled in task manager. I tried to run it in compatibility mode. I looked for exceptions in Defender. I made sure I, the administrator, had 'full access' to the Stardock and Right Click folders. Nothing seems to work. I also downloaded the latest version which came out several days ago. Please help. I love this program and really don't want to switch back to Vista x32 or back to WinXP Pro. I would greatly appreciate it. I also have another post about Deskscapes and sound if anyone could help me on that too.
Two other quick questions. Do you think I should switch to Ultimate x32? Would it make any difference if I installed all of the Stardock apps in the 'program file' folder as opposed to the default 'program files x86' folder?

Thanks for any help.
Rob

Rob, It does work for me on Ultimate 64. I did not do anything special. Just installed it and it worked. The only problem I have is the painting of submenus mentioned in another post.

I initially had the exact same problems like you in Vista64 Ultimate, Right-Click just wouldn't show up even though it was running.
I un-installed it, but when I re-installed it again a couple of months later, Right-Click would suddenly show, even though I wasn't able to customize it at that stage (Note; Right-Click hadn't been upgraded yet).

My guess was that it was changes in Vista and/or with my graphics-drivers that have caused Right-Click to show up.

So my suggestions would be:

1. Update Vista (I had also installed the new compatibility patches; KB938194-x64 and KB938979-x64, but I don't know whether they are really needed for Right-Click to show).

2. Upgrade to the newest graphic-drivers for Vista64. (for Nvidia this is currently Forceware 162.22)

3. Make sure you turn off transparency in Right-Click (set Opacity to 100%) as sub-menus won't show otherwise.

hope this helps you a bit further.

Hi,
Thanks DandoB and aufisch.
Aufisch, I will try those suggestiong tonight. Something weird. It worked this past Saturday. I didn't do anything different. Sunday came around, and it hasn't worked since. I'll keep you posted and thanks again. Wish me luck.
