Works with Vista: Windows Vista is Microsofts new operating system. Mamut had its software solutions approved for compatibility with Windows Vista and was awarded the ’r;Works with Windows Vista’ logo. The approvals apply to Mamut Business Software in the UK, Ireland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
When installing Mamut Business Software the following differs in Vista
Access to the folder that is to be used by all users has to be defined manually after the first installation.
All users have to go through the first-time startup of the program. The startup is run when the mamut.ini file cannot be located. The file is created per user and not, as previously, as a common file for all users.
