Chapter 1 Getting Started
Compatibility with Windows 7
Compatibility with
Windows 7
Tip
Please Note:
Only new Compix systems have Windows 7 installed. Any existing Windows XP systems purchased from Com-
pix will not support user upgrades to Windows 7. If a customer upgrades from Windows XP to Windows 7, the
Compix warranty will be voided and Compix Media will not support the user upgrade.
Security Settings
Two security settings need to be
in place for NewsScroll 4.1 to work
smoothly in Windows 7.
NewsScroll is now compatible with
Windows 7. The default folders
for opening and saving files have
been updated to fit the Windows 7
requirements. Now, NewsScroll will
read all templates, animations, im-
ages, and data from within:
C:\Users\UserName\Documents\
Compix\NewsScroll\
2. The User Access Controls (UAC) must be set to the lowest level
1. Windows 7 must be running in Administrator Mode
The Administrator Mode is the default mode in which Windows 7 runs until new
user accounts are created. Running NewsScroll 4.1 in Administrator Mode helps
with security parameters that Windows 7 has created.
Setting the UAC to the lowest level also combats the security parameters of
Windows 7.
To do this, click on the win-
dows icon at the bottom left corner
of the screen and right-click on
[Computer], then click on [Proper-
ties].
Click on [Action Center] in the
lower left.
