WAD v 17 Displays Incorrect OS

[Phil Kane]

Installed TCMD v 17 on computer running 16-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. With both TCMD and TCC, ver /r shows OS as Win XP (per attached file). Tried "Repair" option on re-installation but no change. Installation on computer running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional displays OS properly.

Check the shortcut's (or program's) compatibility settings (right-click, properties, compatibility).

Thanks, Vince. That fixed it. --- Phil

In my test, when I set compatibility to WinXP, I got the UAC prompt when I started TCC v17. What's that all about?

Perhaps you missed all the kerfuffle about v17 not supporting XP?

How could I miss that! But it does run in XP compat mode. What's the UAC prompt all about?

It's not TCC showing that, it's the Windows loader. You'll have to ask Microsoft.
