Can not restore 2003 BCM with Vista Upgrade Igorfitzpatrick 3/23/2007 3:10:13 PM I just upgraded my Lap Top to Vista. I have BCM 2003 SP3. I have historically backed up my BCM on my desck top and restored it on my laptop so I have current data. Now I get an error saying that I can not recreate because I am not the the user who created the backup. I read the blog from Mukesh. As Administrator I am able to restore the data and everything works fine. Then I exit out of BCM and when I get the error BCM for outlook DB can not be loaded. This cannot be completed because BCM can not access the DB. It then lists the BCM file it can not open. It points to where the file resides but when I try to change the configuration it does not even see the files. When I go back as administrator it all works again. One other dumb question? If I am listed as Administrator under my user name (I am the only user on the machine) why do I have to launch as administrator? Arn't they the same if they both have full rights? Thanks for any help. Tom

Re: Can not restore 2003 BCM with Vista Upgrade "Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT]" <mukeshag[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 3/23/2007 5:53:05 PM Note that BCM 2003 is not compatible with Vista. We released SP4 in February. Please install SP4 and see if that solves the problem. To answer your second question.. In Vista, even if you are logged in as administrator, all programs don't have full rights that an admin account has. This is to prevent security attacks through viruases, worms etc. This feature is called User Access Control (UAC). You can read more about UAC on the web to understand it in more details. -- Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT] Visit team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights "Igorfitzpatrick" <Igorfitzpatrick[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:27F12E0E-2676-44C1-A5F8-5F9B89CB3C61[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Can not restore 2003 BCM with Vista Upgrade Igorfitzpatrick 3/23/2007 7:03:00 PM Mukesh, Thank you for your response. Actually I had installed SP4 but put SP3 up by accident. So the new SP did not work. Any other Ideas? "Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT]" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Note that BCM 2003 is not compatible with Vista. We released SP4 in > February.
