Have done the steps outlined


Got this error-


Can't open the data files. Check that they exist and that you have permission to write to them. The program will now exit.


Running 64x Vista.

Note #1 The guild above can apply to 64-bit as well as 32-bit.

Note #2 I have the 64-bit and ACDual works find for me.


David, I see "Can't open the data files." Can you explain more of where it is happening and maybe include a JPG of it? For a test, you can temporary turn off the User Account Control (UAC) and see if admin permissions are whats getting in the way of it. This would tell you if it's permissions verus a bad installation. Having the UAC turned on is the secure way of running Vista tho.

Davids problem has to do with permissions.


I'm getting an error now "ou can only run one client fromt his machine"

However, I don't have all of the files set to run as xp sp 2. I'll do this when I get home.

So, I gave everything permissions. I have everything running in Windows xp compatibility.

Still getting "Cannot run two clients from this machine" error. I'm running 64 Bit.


Things I've done:

1. Moved folders to C:/

2. Set all permissions as "Run as Admin" and "xp mode"


Any thoughts?

Yes .. But I need to do some digging to remember. The problem is not related to the fact that you are on Vista. It could had happen with XP. I believe the AC client is reporting this error .. correct? Dual client works with two separate folder sets containing running copies of AC. It also needs to manage the two with the registry. This is where I am fuzzy. It's been a few years since I had this problem .. long before Vista came out. And you are correct, Deah .. not a permission problem for you. Sorry I lead you down that path. Best suggestion is research this out in the forums because I know this has been answered before. And check Drake's page for ACDual also. I'll look into it when I get some time here.
