[Dx4win] Re : Windows 7 : it works !

[Radivoj Kar, F6GNZ]

Hi Jim and Joe,
Have followed your advices and set everything as recommended. After first tests everything worked OK, including SteppIR and Rotor controls.

But I have still an issue I wish to solve. Since I installed DX4WIN in C:\DX4WIN folder I must always run it as administrator, and even when doing this, each time I open DX4WIN I must respond to the User Account Control alert message "do you want to allow..."

Any clue how to avoid getting this message???
73, Radi
