I tried turning off user control and it worked. The Stickies web site
suggests that all install issues will likely be related to the absence
of a couple of programs from microsoft. This is not the case with
Vista. Both come with the operating system. The stickies web site
misleads people into downloading programs that not only are updated
versions already installed but the site recommended versions are not
supported by the
o.s. in question.
I wonder what is in this program that exceeds vistas security
protocols? Does installing
Stickies outside of Vista security parameters means it stays outside
providing a
vulnerability that wouldn't otherwise exist. I've installed quite a
few programs on
Vista 64 and this is the first one that I had to turn off security to
get it to work. Mind
you I have had some programs that appeared not to work with 64 bit but
maybe
it was really user account issues.
I feel kind of strange deliberately putting a program on my desktip
which is known
to operate out of specific location, known to operate all the time and
known
to operate completely outside the o.s. security procedures. Talk about
a vulnerability!
Anyway, much thanks to wellsee for a solution that is not obvious (to
me) but is
simple and works. At least now it shows up in programs so I can
uninstall it if
I want to (and I probably will for the reasons mentioned above)
Thanks wellsee
