View Full Version : HEM not opening at all

I have the Vista User Account Control activated, so that HEM 'runs as administrator'.

Earlier today I opened HEM and got straight in without having to input my administrator password. I did not play any hands, just had a look at some of yesterdays hands.

I then closed HEM, and tried reopening it to see if it still didn't need the administrator password, but nothing happens. The cursor turns into a revolving disc (as it does when opening any application), for a split second before turning back into a cursor, and nothing loads.

I had a look at the FAQs and couldn't find this problem anywhere. Please help!


Edit: Update. After powering my PC down and restarting, HEM is now working again. Would still be interested in to what may have been the problem in case it happens again in the future.

UAC needs to be deactivated/off for HEM to run properly.

Really? I've always ran it with UAC activated. Do you know what issues this causes?

Here is a link that explain it. I have never owned vista, so I am not the best one to ask.
