Hello
suddenly for the past couple of weeks I have been getting a security warning popup at startup on a program that has been on my computer for quite some time. I have unchecked the box where it states to notify me of this type of file but it keeps happening. It is a calendar called Rainlender that appears on my desktop.
Any ideas?




Thanks

If you trust this program, put a checkmark in the box and click "Run"
If you don't trust the program, don't let it run and click on "Cancel" - then uninstall the program so you won't be bothered with it again.

Thanks John

I have unchecked it because it reads...
Always ask before opening this file

I have tried both ways but for some reason the warning message keeps reappearing.

Thank you for the response
Tom

Darned eye problems are really messing me up today! Sorry! :huh:

Anywhooooo....I'd have to suggest updating to the latest version of Rainlendar ( http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php )
If you're already at the latest version, then maybe uninstall and then reinstall?

Otherwise, it sounds like a problem with how Rainlendar interacts with Vista (and it's invoking of the UAC dialog). I searched the Rainlendar forums and found results that seem to indicate that they left some stuff in that's incompatible with Vista (for backwards compatibility I suppose). Here's the link to that post: http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php?op...mp;catid=2#5701

Thanks again John.
It may be the latest update I got from them so I'll either wait for the next update or do a reinstall like you said

Thanks and enjoy your weekend :huh:
Tom
