Installing and Running on Microsoft Vista®

In the Vista operating system, Microsoft has added a new security feature called User Account Control (UAC). As myWIFIzone installation requires high level permissions, UAC will prevent it from installing the driver, and from launching when you restart your computer. The instructions below explain how to install and run myWIFIzone on a computer running Vista. 

Installing on Microsoft Vista®

Step 1 - Disable UAC

Click the Start button/orb, type msconfig in the search box and press Enter. The system configuration dialog box will appear (see figure 1). Click the Tools tab, scroll down and click the "Disable UAC" line (see figure 2). Click the Launch button. A command window will appear (see figure 4). Close the command window and reboot your computer.

Step 2 - Install myWIFIzone

Run myWIFIzone.msi to install myWIFIzone on your computer.

Click the Start button/ orb, type msconfig in the search box and press Enter. The system configuration dialog box will appear (see figure 1 above). Click the Tools tab, scroll down and click the "Enable UAC" line (see figure 3). Click the Launch button. A command window will appear (see figure 4 above). Close the command window and reboot your computer.

Step 2 - Set myWIFIzone to run as administrator

Locate the file called myWIFIzone.exe (usually in C:\Program Files\myWIFIzone folder). Right-click the file and click properties (see figure 5). The properties dialog box will appear (see figure 6). Select the compatibility tab and check the box called "Run this program as an administrator" (see figure 7). Vista should now allow you to run myWIFIzone from the Start menu.
