Hopefully someone out there will be able to help me...
I have been running Hy-tek's TM 4.0 on my computer since 2006 to manage the high school team that I coach. Sadly, my laptop died a few weeks before the end of our last season (we're a fall sport in Idaho). I installed the program on my new laptop, which runs Vista, and could not get it to work. The program installs, but when I tried to run it, I got errors messages galore. I managed to get through the rest of the season on a borrowed computer.
Now that school is finally out for the summer, and I have some spare time, I decided to tackle it again. I uninstalled and re-installed the program with the same results -- several times. I contacted Hy-tek and was informed that as of Jan 1, they no longer offer support for TM 4.0. Lovely. I was also informed that since I had ordered the label upgrade in 2007, that I should have the version of TM 4.0 that works on Vista.
I am very frustrated at this point. Has anyone else been able to run TM 4.0 with Vista? Hy-tek is being very unhelpful. They just keep telling me that I can order the newest upgrade for only $125. What a bargain -- for software that originally cost less than $70.
Thanks for any advice,
Kristi
Elaine,
I am unsure as to how to interpret you "good luck" since you obviously feel that I have over-stepped forum rules by posting my question in the first place. It's up to the site administrators to determine if threads are appropriate for the forum, and I do not appreciate your slap on the wrist. Hy-tek, TM is a SWIMMING program, and I do not see that it is a problem to ask a question about a SWIMMING program on a SWIMMING forum.
No, NO- not at all! You came to the right place for advice! You just misunderstood my intentions... What I meant by saying it's a "SWIMMING forum" is that I don't want to deviate from swimming by going on and on about COMPUTER stuff! But, I did want to warn you about the evils of Vista without turning this into a computer-related thread. :blah: That, I'm afraid, would have some of the forumites all over my case, I'm sure... :rolleyes:
So, Kristilynn, my "good luck" was a :cheerleader:, because I understand the frustration of computer problems all to well... Been there, done that, and I hate it more than anything! :bitching:
So, rather than a slap on the wrist, I'm offering you a :cheerleader: :cheerleader: :cheerleader: OK?
