Bug: not starting in Vista, and a fix

[AntonyCASAFilms]

A slightly strange bug.

I bought a brand new Intel Core2 Quad processor machine with a very good video card, installed Redcine and it worked.

A week later I tried to run Redcine again and all that happened was the screen went black, an hourglass appeared, then the screen went back to the desktop. Redcine did not start.

I tried all the following. None fixed it:
1. Disable all virus checkers
2. Run the Repair option for Redcine
3. Uninstall Redcine and then re-install it
4. Download Redcine again and install

However, after speaking to a knowledgable colleague, he suggested I run Redcine as administrator.

I right-clicked on the icon, but there was no "Run as administrator" option.

So what I had to do was:
1. Start Explorer
2. Go to c:\Program Files\Redcine\bin
3. Right-click on Redcine.exe and choose "Run as administrator"

and BINGO!!!! It now runs fine.

A tedious process to do everytime I want to run it, but at least it now works.

I hope this helps someone.

Just rightclick, go into settings for the program, security and change the settings to always run as an administrator.

Not possible. That option is greyed out for the shortcut.

Look around, there might be a way to change the "user restrictions".

still doesn't work for me on XP. Just shows the program minimized in the start bar and doesn't open

I think there is something strange about the way the installer creates the shortcut.

I deleted the shortcut and created a new one myself. This time I could set it to "Run as Admin".

However, now that it is running, there are errors whenever I try to render to a Quicktime video. But I can create DPX files OK. Hmmmmmm.

Disable Windows defender. Worked for me.
