I bought a new laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium a month ago, and can not find a way to get poffs installed on it. I have tried every thing I can think of.
I first tried to just download it from http://www.reonis.com/POFFS/index.htm, where Don Ewald keeps the latest files, but my anti-virus program keeps complaining, so I turned it off. I then tried to unZip the files with the Vista, Extract routines, but it hangs.
I have tried copying my good poffs folder from my XP computer with a flash drive and unzipping with a 3rd party zip program. I am logged in as the administrator and I have tried turning off the UAC, the firewall, and the anti-virus without success. Vista still seems to not allow the unzipping of Forum4.dat and Forum6.dat, nor will it allow running update.bat correctly.
I was just wondering if anyone else has been able to install POFFS on a Vista machine. I hope Don Ewald is monitoring this forum now, and I hope someone can help. POFFS is such a favorite of mine!
