I posted this over at e-on as well:

I'm having an odd problem - I just upgraded to windows vista 64-bit today and after re-installing vue when I try to load any content other than the content that was installed with the program e.g the white oak from cornucopia - I get an error saying that it can't find file in "Program Filese-onsoftwareVue6InfiniteTemptexturefilename.jpg".

I looked in the vue program file and there isn't any temp folder. Has anyone else had this problem? Or have a suggestion for how to fix it? Thanks for any insight

**Updated to say - actually it was only the first tree of the installed default program content that loaded with textures, now nothing that I've tried is loading with textures.

I tried creating a temp folder myself and also double checked I'm installing as administrator (I haven't even created any standard accounts yet).**

You installed as administrator, but are you running Vue as an administrator?  Right-click the exe icon and select Run as Administrator.  That cures most of the problems with running Vista. 

I had exactly the same situation and the same problem. Exactly. Even after running as administrator, as Peggy suggested, I continued having the problem occasionally. The problem was only solved when I did the following 3 things almost at the same time. Unfortunetally, I cant tell you which one solved the problem.

• I upgraded Vista to SP1.
• I cancelled Vista protected mode (the default). I dont normally have my Vue computer connected to the internet anyway, so that's not a problem.
• I copied all PRV files from the old to the new hard disk.

After this, Vue is running perfectly in my Vista.

Thanks to you both - I'll try running the program as administrator. I installed SP1 when I installed Vista so I should be OK there. I'll try canceling protected mode if it looks like Norton can cover any security holes left by doing that. I originally copied my old .prv files over - in fact I thought that might be what caused the problem, but if I'm still having trouble I'll give it a try again. :)

These tips did get me up and running again - I used them all - just running the program as administrator didn't work for me. The other tip offered at e-on forums was to delete all collections and re-establish them - I didn't try this one, but copying over the old .prv files probably accomplished roughly the same thing.

It is surely something related to your configuration of Vista
I recently buy a new computer and ask to the store to install Vista 64 bits (Sp1 included) and 8 gig ram I am running as administrator
I have  reinstalled  VUE6 infinite from  my original on a d:vue 6 infinite folder and installed the last update on it
After i have put lots of my stuff bought and modified  from my older folder of Vue (recalled Exxx Vue6 infinite) to the new installation
Everything  seems working good now
Good luck

I just loaded 64-bit Vista Business on my Mac Pro 8-core -- had the same problem.

Try this: Go to Control Panel > User Accounts> User Accounts, then select "Turn User Account Control on or off, then turn off (deselect) "Use User Account Control (UAC)...

This should solve all your file location problems.

BTW, my new Mac Pro is likely the finest PC made for the $$.  This is my first Mac in over a decade, and the build quality is way beyond any other PC workstation for the $$ I paid.  I get 2 8-core boxes (Mac & PC), and 2 4-core 2.8 GHz Xeons, 64-bit Vista, 6GB of RAM, and Vue6I run....*very fast!

...however, I'm not sure Vista Home Premium has this on/off account control feature, as the Business version has?*

Checked and my UAC was already turned off. I don't know whether it was or not back when I was having problems....Thanks for the suggestion though, and I'll remember it for the future - you never know when something might come in handy!

Sounds like a sweet machine! I thought about switching to a Mac with this upgrade, but decided against it just because of the hassle and extra $$ to get all my programs switched. Also, basically I'm lazy - don't want to learn a new operating system and it only takes me a couple of hours to build a new windows PC. On a Mac you're pretty much stuck with what they give you for components aren't you? Can't build your own?

I've built many PCs in the past. If you went to Newegg and priced the components (including a high quality 1000 watt power supply) you couldn't build the same quality this Mac contains for the same $$.  I went to HP and Dell to price their workstations.  The equivalent PC was ~ $1000 more than the Mac. I have 5 Win PCs, and 2 Win Core2 laptops, but they simply cannot touch the new Mac Pro quality -- in my opinion.

The only downside is that the Mac version of Vue6I is still 32 bit, though an old, really big Vue5I scene that constantly crashed on my 32-bit Vista Q6600 (OC'ed to a very stable 3.0 GHz), ran smooth on the Mac.  Leopard is a full 64-bit OS, so I imagine e-on will have a 64-bit version of Vue6I soon (?).  Until then, Vista 64-bit Business runs like lightning on the Mac, and, so far, is very stable.  Apple just released a big Boot Camp upgrade, and it looks as if Apple is serious about supporting the Windows side of the Mac line.

Consider, that now with the Intel Macs, the only debate is over the OS.  The hardware debate is over.  Intel loves the Mac OS, and typically releases the newest CPU/chipsets to the Apple world first.

I'm not a Vista basher however, It has some very nice features.
