Vista or Windows 7 Operating Systems

Additional steps may be required for installing Pastoral Compensation software on a computer with the Vista or Windows 7 operating system:
 

The Pastoral Compensation Software is based on Paradox 10 Runtime version which is not fully compatible with Vista or Windows 7.

After downloading and installing the software, the following additional steps may be required. 

I would appreciate your feedback at info@manygifts.org.

Select Compatibility Mode First try to set the compatibility mode.  Then try restarting our software program.
Help Files If you get this far, the software is working but pressing F1 for help files does not work.  Vista or Windows 7 may give you the information you need to solve this.  If not, see this section.
Other information Other useful information to calm your mind when using Vista.
   
Select Compatibility Mode
Note:  Since Paradox 10 Runtime is considered an older program by Vista and Windows 7, it works best if the program is run in a compatibility mode for XP.
1.  Right click on the desktop icon for Salary Guidelines.

2.  Click on Properties.

3.  Click on Compatibility tab.

4.  Check box to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

5.  Check the box to "Run this program as an administrator."

 
(If you were unable to select the Compatibilty tab and 64-bit operating system, see additional notes.)
 
Help Files
Note:  The context-sensitive help files for this software use an older Windows help program that is no longer included with Vista.  It must be downloaded separately.
Open the Pastoral Compensation program and press F1.  Vista will probably notify you that the help files are based on an older program and provide a link for you to download the program.
If not, try this link: Download winhlp32.exe for Vista
For additional information: Old help files not included with Vista
 
Other
Exiting the program will result in an error message.  This is annoying but does not cause any problems.
