[Download
Site] - Japanese - English
NOTE |
The Windows XP mode of
Windows® 7 is supported by
Professional edition or above. For "Starter"
or "Home Premium" edition, edition upgrade is
required on the site of Microsoft Corporation
(charged). | |
| | |
|
|

"Help" doesn't
start. |
|
When Windows® 7 is used
in the ordinary mode, "Help" of Windows is
displayed, but "Help" of GP-PRO/PBIII for Windows
C-Package03 is not displayed. (This does not occur
in the Windows XP mode.) |
|
Workaround: |
Download the program for
Windows® 7 (WinHlp32.exe) from the
Microsoft's download site and install it. |
1. |
Start GP-PRO/PBIII for Windows
C-Package03 in the Windows XP mode of
Windows® 7. |
2. |
Download and install the program for
Windows® 7 (WinHlp32.exe) from the
Microsoft’s download site. |

There are notes concerning
the save destination for project
files. |
|
In the specification of Windows® 7,
files created in the "Program Files" in the
ordinary mode are stored in the following
path:
C:\Users\[User
name]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program
Files\
(Each file installed with the
installer is written in Program
Files.)
When a project file is stored in
the "database" that is the initial storage
destination of GP-PRO/PBIII for Windows
C-Package03, you may not know where the project
file is stored in searching it with
Explorer.
When the file is opened on
GP-PRO/PBIII for Windows C-Package03, you may
misunderstand that the file is stored in the
"database" folder in "Program Files" because the
file is stored in the "database"
folder. → Workaround
In
the Windows XP mode of Windows® 7, the
differences as noted above do not occur. To use
the file that has been stored in the ordinary mode
of Windows® 7 when the Windows XP mode
is selected, make the settings to access the
ordinary mode drive in the Windows XP mode. (→
Settings) On
the other hand the file that has been stored in
the Windows XP mode cannot be accessed in the
ordinary mode.
