Fix for all Vista 32-bit issues

[minuszero]

After much playing around I have found a workaround for all of the vista problems. It will fix the networkstats, volume and systemstats issues.

The problem lies (as usual) with Vista's UAC. Pertelian is required to run as an administrator to function properly but seeing as UAC blocks all start-up programs that require Admin privileges this leaves us with a problem so I came up with this workaround after trying to get my UPS software to work:

First log on as an administrator.

Now to make Pertelian start as an administrator program at login you need to run it as a scheduled task. To do this go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Task Scheduler.

Click create basic task, Set the name and description and click next, Select when I log on, Next, Run Program, Next Again, Click browse and select the Pertelian program.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you fill in the optional "Start In" box with the path to the Pertelian folder (EG C:\Program Files\Pertelian) and without quotes or Pertelian will act very oddly (not show ANY plugins or save settings)

Select open properties when I click finish, Click finish, Select Run with highest privileges, Click Triggers, double click the at logon trigger and change settings to any user, click OK, click settings, Uncheck stop task if it runs longer than:, Check run task ASAP if missed and finally click OK to finish.

Restart your PC and Pertelian should be fully functional on Vista.

This has been tested on Home Premium 32-bit but should work on all 32-bit editions.

Hey minuszero,
Thanks so much for this feedback! We are currently working on removing the UAC issues with Pertelian so things works without having to mess around with that stuff. In the mean time though, your guide should prove most useful to Vista users!
Thanks again.

Hey Everyone,
As you know, there have been quite a few releases since these posts started and we have been working very hard on official Vista support. Well, we tested all Pertelian features with Windows Vista (32 bit) without disabling UAC and have not run into any major issues.
Is anyone having any issues with the latest releases of Pertelian running on Vista?

I am a new user and i purchased your Pertelian today. I am having issues with NetWork Stats and System Stats, due to lack of Admin Priveliges. I am using Windows Vista 32 Bit

Is there any new Updates that will fix this problem.???

Hello Mickybooth,
Are you running the latest version of Pertelian available on the website? I'm following up with Vicken to check if administrator mode is necessary for these plug-ins. Also note that we are working on the next generation Pertelian application which should be fully Vista compatible, and the first two plug-ins will be System Stats and Network Stats.

Hey micky,
Are you unable to assign administrator privileges to the application as is described on the first post on this thread or as you prohibited from doing so completely? That is, are you not allowed to assign admin status on any program given a lock on status (ie. is Pertelian plugged in at a computer at work which gives you only limited status)?
