Executable gadget

Gadget

I made a executable gadget using desktopx version 3.2. It's like that "fishy" program somewhere on this site. I guess you would call it a screenmate or deskmate. I sent it to a friend and it does not work on his machine, Windows Vista. It's runs fine on my Windows Xp machine. Wonder if anyone has any idea why it doesn't work on his Vista machine? Thanks.

How did you save/export it?

There are three versions available and only one will create a true stand-alone product. If you don't have Pro, your friend will need one of the other versions.

I exported it as an executable gadget. He figured it out. He had to disable or enable the "User Account Control"(uac). I'm not using Vista so I'm unfamiliar with the User Account Control. Thanks for responding.

some vista dont accept to some of their products. maybe there is an incompatibility issue here..you can try to download another file and check if its suitable for vista.

He got it working. He had the "uac" disabled. Once he turned it back on, it worked.
