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
Have you tried running TM in compatibility(?) mode?
I don't have Vista, but recall that you can right click a program icon and run it in XP mode or some other compatibility mode.
I think this was how we got TM 4.0 to run on a Vista machine a couple of years ago. I'd have to check with the owner of that system to make sure of exactly what we did.
