I am running PropView on my Windows 10 PC. When I try to make predictions, the prediction graphic comes up blank, unless I start up PropView in administrator mode. Is there a way that I can have the predictions work without having to start PropView in administrator mode? The User Account Control popups in Windows are a little annoying.

Thanks.

+ Into what folder did you install PropView?

Dave,

PropView is installed in C:\Program Files\DXLab\PropView

PropView is installed in C:\Program Files\DXLab\PropView

+ As stated in the second sentence of

https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/InstallApplication

+ Windows considers the C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86) folder to be "protected". To run DXLab applications installed in these folders, you must start them with Administrative privileges, or first log in to a Windows account with Administrative privileges. Windows will not let DXLab applications interoperate unless they all were started without Administrative privileges, or they were all started with Administrative privileges.

+ Unless you have a compelling reason to install your DXLab application in C:\Program Files\DXLab, I suggest that you

1. terminate all DXLab Applications
2. make a backup of  C:\Program Files\DXLab "just in case"
3. direct Windows to uninstall each of your DXLab applications
4. download and install the Launcher into a folder that Windows does not consider protected; by default, the Launcher installs itself and all other DXLab applications into sub-folders of C:\DXLab 
5. direct the Launcher to install the other DXLab applications you're using 
6. terminate the Launcher
7. follow these instructions to copy data files - like your log! - from their locations with C:\Program Files\DXLab to the corresponding locations in C:\DXLab

8. test each of your DXLab applications to confirm that they are working as they did prior to the above steps
9. wait a couple of weeks "just in case", and then delete C:\Program Files\DXLab

73,

Thanks for the tip, Dave.

I uninstalled and re-installed DXLab as suggested, and the predictions are working without have to start PropView in administrator mode.
