Vista users who are also administrators may have noticed that when they select the “Administer Express Server…” option from the “Tools” menu in GeoExpress 7, nothing happens. We intend to fix this in a future release, but in the meantime there are several workarounds that we don’t recommend and one that we do.

You could set GeoExpress to run as an administrator or set it to run in “XP Compatibility Mode”. However, we recommend that you let the Vista operating system fix the problem itself. Here’s how: 

When you attempt to use the “Administer Express Server…” option and it doesn’t work:

1. Close GeoExpress. A dialog appears, shown below, indicating that Vista noticed a “compatibility” issue and will make a change accordingly.



2. Click Close. 

The next time you start GeoExpress and choose Administer Express Server… from the Tools menu, all should be well.
