witch Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Does anyone use this? I have just upgraded a laptop to Win 7 and now I cannot get the resources to show whatever I do. The path given is C:\Docs and settings\All users\Docs\ActivSoftware\ActivPrimary3 which seems right but they just dont appear. Searching for them sometimes works and sometimes doesnt. Can anyone advise?
bladedanny Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I think it might be the path. I don't think Windows 7 has a docs and settings folder. The path should be something like. C:\Users\Public\Documents\ActiveSoftware\ActivePrimary3 1
witch Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Aha - of course - that makes sense! Just couldn't see it. Will have a look tomorrow. Thanks so much, @bladedanny
Michael Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 That's correct. If you look in each user's Documents, there should be an .ini file (top of my head). Open it up in Notepad and do a Edit > Replace to save time!
slugshead Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I had this last week... In the activprimary software, you get the bar at the bottom.. There were a few buttons to click (small ones) and one of them let you navigate to a folder.. Had to do that with each resource, once added.. They stayed. No idea what happened or how it happened. Put a copy of the resources on a network share. Send out a memo on how to do it. No comebacks, everyone happy.
Michael Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I think it's simply because ActivPrimary 3 is so old and is hard coded for C:\Documents and Settings\ rather than C:\Users. ActivInspire is a much better product and doesn't have this issue on Win 7.
Jobos Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 This happens when a user moves from xp to win7 and the profile still points to the document and settings folder. Do a search for APSettings3.ini in the users ActivPrimary3 folder and just delete it. A new APSettings3.ini file will be made when they next start ActivPrimary.

I just logged on as them and changed the path to the resources - seems to have worked.
