bex Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Not really img burns fault (microsoft must have changed something) but when you click on the close button of img burn in vista beta 2 you get I dialog that comes up failed to set data for " just thought you should know
kevdriver Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Thanks Bex, don't know if any of the guys noticed that yet. Welcome to the forum.......
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Hmm can't say as I've seen that problem myself actually. I installed Vista beta 2 (x86 version) the other day and I did find a couple of issues but that wasn't one of them. Have all the windows closed when that happens? i.e. so that's the only thing you see that says 'ImgBurn' on it.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Sorry, I probably wasn't clear what I was asking! Is the main ImgBurn window still open when you get this error message? If so, what does it say in the statusbar at this time?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 ah hang on, I see the problem! You're running under a 'standard' account probably. Under XP that wasn't possible because SPTI didn't work - you could of course have used another I/O interface though I guess! I have to be honest, I don't think I've ever really tried ImgBurn as a 'standard' user - because I knew SPTI didn't work. Those errors could have always been there!
kevdriver Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Whew........ was just about to load up a beta of vista on another puter to see if the problem could be duplicated. . Might do it anyways and run imgburn and see what pop ups. @ Bex, cannot you not be administrator account like Xp. Haven't run vista yet so don't reaaly know whats happening with it.......
Defenestration Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 So it can be run under a limited account without this error occurring now ?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Yup. When it fails to write to the hkcr branch, it'll switch to hkcu\software\classes. Either way around, it now fails silently as these issues are hardly show stoppers! Had XP have worked with SPTI under a limited account, I would no doubt have noticed it. As it didn't, I didn't bother with too much testing (if any). MS seem to allow people to use SPTI now, even as (what they now call) a standard user. That's a good think to know
bex Posted June 18, 2006 Author Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) I am set as an administrator but it has been acting a bit odd what I have read about Vista is that most of the time Administrator accounts run in standard mode only changing as required Anyway I switched off UAP (it was driving me nuts) and no errors on imgburn close down Edited June 18, 2006 by bex
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 lol i ended up editing the registry, enabling the real administrator account and then logging in as that! Having to click 'yes' to everything I tried to do was driving me nuts too! On the topic of Vista (but off topic from ImgBurn): I still can't get the poxy file sharing to work how I want it though. It's weird that when you install it and create that single admin account, it then uses that for the admin account if you try to access the admin shares (c$, d$ etc). So even when you try to connect to the vista PC using 'Administrator' as the name, it uses the name you created on the Vista box. As I had no use for that account once I'd enabled Administrator, I deleted it. It could just be a generic thing but even when I recreate that account with the same password etc, I'm still denied access to the admin shares. I just wanted to have a single username / password between my machines / virtual machines and let it do pass through authentication so I didn't have to enter names + passwords each time. It works fine between xp / 2003 but vista just won't play nicely My machines aren't in a domain or it would probably work ok. If you have any thoughts on the matter I'd be happy to hear them!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 it's on private. Not to worry. I'll forget about it for now and wait until the next beta (or RC) and then try again.
