Re: [guide-user] Vista

Hi Laurence,
Firstly, thanks to Kevin for the tip about changing Vista to close the
gap in the icons. However I've never had any problems with Guide
starting up with Vista Home Edition.

Re the MPC file, I had trouble with this until I found that I had a
directory set incorrectly. Can't remember which one it was now but
you could start off by looking in "guide.dat" to check that the line
which reads something like "MPC_PATH=C:\GUIDE8\MPCORB.DAT" is indeed
where you have MPCORB.DAT stored.
Cheers,
Roger Pickard
