Does Becker CPA Review software work on Windows Vista?
Posted by admin in Software Reviews on 12 22nd, 2009 | one response
I just got a new computer that has Vista and I've heard it doesn't support some software. So I want to know that everything will work before I spend the big bucks on CPA exam review CDs. The Becker site says it supports XP and ME. It doesn't list Vista, but it could just be that they haven't updated the info recently.

This is the answer directly from the beckercpa.com site.
“Yes, all of our software is compatible with Microsoft Vista; however we do recommend that when installing or using our software on Vista you disable a new option titled “User Account Control.” This is an uncomplicated procedure that will allow for effortless upgrades as well as simplifying the process of reinstallation if necessary.
To disable UAC:
1. Open the Control Panel then select User Accounts
2. Click on the link “Turn user account control on or off”
3. Uncheck the box titled “Use UAC to help protect this computer”
4. Click OK
You are now ready to install the software as described in your Course manual.”
