ReadPlease and ReadPlease Plus 2003

ReadPlease Plus 2003

ReadPlease 2003 Free and ReadPlease Plus 2003 work with Windows Vista.

However, ReadPlease Plus 2003 requires some extra steps.

Windows XP Users need to follow these steps:
**Making ReadPlease Plus 2003 work for Vista**


The program doesn't need to be installed with User Account Control disabled. Install it as you would any other program.

Once it's installed follow these steps:


1- Right click the desktop shortcut and choose "Properties"
2- Select the "Compatibility" Tab
3- Under the "Privilege Level" Option - Select "Run this program as an administrator" - click OK

- For the moment you will get a prompt from the User Account Control every time it starts.

No further PC Windows development is planned - a Mac version will be out soon.
