Hi Vernon, the cause of your problem if that VistaTweaker reads a lot of registry keys when you execute it. And 64bit versions of Windows have some changes in registry keys.

Unfortunately, i’m rewriting most of the code now and i don’t have access to Vista or XP 64bit. Maybe i can come up with something to disable the reads at startup and enable only those tweaks that surely works on 64bit.

But this will take some time because i have to do testing and research on this.

When I run the Install program, I get an error message that VistaTweaker has quit running. I am running 64 bit Vista. What is my problem?

I’m already working on a new version of VistaTweaker. I think that it will be ready in less than a month.

I don’t have much time, but i’m coding everytime i have some spare time.

hi steven. are you running x64? i haven’t test VistaTweaker in Windows XP x64 or Vista x64 yet.

i don’t have enough time to prepare registry files to send you that undo the tweaks you want. Im working on a registry backup feature when someone runs my program for the first time. Meanwhile try searching for a particular tweak on the internet, you will find the registry entries right away.

regards.

Hi steven. You don´t have to uninstall it or remove it. Just don´t run it if you don´t want to use it. If you want restore the tweak make sure that you run VistaTweaker and de-select the ones you don´t want to keep.

That is why i provide it stand-alone for more convience.

to CL: I will check that exception to see what caused it.

to Steven: I didn’t saw any error in the code for that particular feature, but i think i have to test it a few times at home to see if it raises any error when trying to undo that tweak.

thanks to both of you for the feedback.
