WORDsearch: New Computer Installation Guide

Anyone else run into a problem with WS saying you don't have Admin rights when you really do?
Is this a case of the program seeking authentication online and finding the server has been shut down?

I recall noting at the time that WS11 was a particularly tedious version to get installed, and I wondered how non-technical users would fare with it. There was also some version that did not allow the user to change the library/docs folders from the settings dialog, if I remember right. That may have been some iteration of v.11 - I don't know, that was a long time ago. I think I solved it by making changes in the Windows Registry...
One solution might be to put the library and WS Docs where the installation thinks they should be, but you'd still probably have to find and move your license files, assuming you have them. But the bottom line is that if you're not tech-savvy enough to figure out by yourself how to make it work, I think you're just digging yourself a deeper and deeper hole by going back to antiquated versions.

John, thanks for helping out! I did decide to put the library and WS Docs where the installation thinks they should be and that ultimately worked when I also did a restore from backup. So I have access to everything on 2 new Dell latitude laptops!
I dislike Logos so much because of the distracting offers, colors, and complicated arrangement of library and resources. I am happy with the simple dependable WS11 and have never used Logos since I installed it. I also use Olive Tree which can be helpful too.

That's great Rob - I'm glad you got it working. Hopefully that keeps working for you as Windows keeps changing, and it continues to meet your needs.
I scratched my head a bit when you mentioned how you disliked "distracting offers" in Logos, but then it dawned on me you were probably referring to the Dashboard page. Apparently like you, I too am put off by constant come-ons and sales pitches, and I effectively banished the Dashboard from my work environment long ago, and then all but forgot about it. I believe the Dashboard view is the default startup screen, but you can change that in Program Settings. Until this conversation, I hadn't seen my Dashboard view in several years. The only place I see offers from Logos now is in emails, as I still subscribe to some of them.

I happen to like the Dashboard John - but I am working at being a bit more relaxed in my day and taking time to view the landscape.
However I appreciate that many do not have the time to dawdle, for them the option you mention to change the start-up behaviour will be a convenience. I have these start up options, John's may vary...

John at some future point I may look into Logos again but all is well now with the WS installation on my Windows 11 Dell 7400 laptops!

love wordsearch 10 -12, however they are right Logos is just not good and to complicated, it's not that people can't learn it, but just why? Also tipped their hand with the outrages pricing. Not looking for business people to make merchandise of God's word. I would rather use a free bible software that was created for helping God's people rather than making money off them.
