BCM running in Vista

A

Andrew Brott

I'm running the latest BCM in Windows XP SP2 with Office 2007. I rely on it
heavily for scheduling everything. I'd love to be able to run my Vista
Business edition which is on another partition of the drive, but when I run
BCM in Vista I constantly get a message stating that "BCM could not complete
the last task" then Outlook fails and restarts. Makes it a little tough to
get work done.

Any Suggestions?

unfortunately uninstalling BCM is not an option for me as all records
regarding clients are tracked using BCM

I had a similar problem and created a new Profile in Control Panel, Mail. I
connected the same PST and BCM file but the profile must have been
corrupted. As soon as I started using the new one, the messages stopped.

This was after doing a Check for Errors on the BCM db and a scanpst on the
PST file...

HTH,
Lon

Hi Lon

I was just reviewing your website and I am considering purchasing your
material, however I can not get BCM to work at a decent speed and without
constant errors. I have been going everywhere to fix the problem and have
downloaded as many updates as I could find from Microsoft. Any ideas on how I
can get it to work as fast as the online demo from Microsoft?

I would appreciate your help.

Darryl:

Thanks much! You've got big questions and I'm not sure I have all the
answers... I'd be glad to discuss it with you offline -- please call me at
your convenience. My generic answer to you is this: your real world
scenario will always be less pristine and more complicated than Microsoft's
demo environment!

Thanks,
Lon

I have having similar problems until the SQL DB just quit. I then discovered that a SQL Express patch needed to be applied to work effectively with Vista.
