Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7 Compatibility Mode

If you are currently using a version of FliteStar that is not Windows Vista/7 aware (version 9.3.0 or lower) on a Windows Vista/7 machine with the compatibility mode feature enabled, we recommend that you turn off the compatibility mode and update the application with the Vista aware Electronic Chart Data (ECD) Discs or electronically through the Internet.

When using the Compatibility mode feature, Windows Vista/7 redirects some files and folders to other areas of your computer. For instance, if you are a standard user and cannot write to the C:\Program Files folder, it will redirect the files and place it in the C:\Users[User Profile] folder. Windows Vista/7 gives the application its own private copy of the file in the user profile so the application will function properly. When files are moved randomly, the Vista/7-aware Jeppesen applications might not be able to find the files needed or place additional files on your computer, raising the amount of space required on your computer. It might also reduce application performance and cause application conflicts.
