mp3Tag and Windows Vista

mp3Tag is fully functional under Windows Vista. However, you should be aware of some new features of this operating system.

If you tag files and get a message that mp3Tag couldn't save files, this may mean that UAC is active on your system. UAC (User Account Control) is a new feature that enforces new security policies. Your user account may have administrator privileges, but you are still not allowed to change files that you don't own. By default, all files that are outside your home directory are owned by administrator (or by other users that have created those files).

So, if you get such message, you can do one of the following:

1. Add yourself as a co-owner of the files that you're trying to process. This can be done by right-clicking the folder in Windows Explorer, selecting "Properties" - "Security" - "Edit" - "Add". You should add your username.
2. Right-click mp3Tag's icon and select "Run as administrator".
3. Turn UAC off (not recommended).

If you get a message that the program couldn't be initialized properly, or that some DLL file couldn't be loaded, please check your DEP settings.
