No way to use EyeCandy 3 on Vista?

Post by tisha »

Hi all,

I have Eye Candy 3 on my old machine, and would like to use it on my new Vista PC. The setup.exe does not run, but I copied the plugin files over to my new PC. When I attempt to use it, I am prompted for my reg code, but after entering it I get a message like "cannot edit/create eyecand3.ini" (paraphrasing). Does anybody know a way to get these to work on a Vista machine?

Thanks,

T.

Sounds like Eye Candy cannot access its .ini file. You need to set read/write permissions for the folder where Eye Candy is located. Then it should work.
