Vista and the Online Bible

First thing under Vista is to make sure it is up to date. Service Pack 1 came out in April, 2008 which fixed just about all the problems people have reported. Got to the Start Menu - All Programs and click on Windows Update to update Vista and all Microsoft software on your computer.

I  want to remove the Online Bible Program using "Remove Programs". Vista will not remove it.
  1. Open Control Panel and click on "User Accounts and Family Safety".
  2. Click on "User Accounts".
  3. Click on "Turn User Account Control on or off".
  4. Uncheck "User Account Control". Close the dialog box.
  5. You will be prompted to restart Windows. After restarting you will be able to remove the Online Bible program.

When I attempt to run the Online Bible in Vista I am getting the error message "Online Bible 32 Bit Version has stopped working."

  1. Open Windows Explorer.
  2. Location the application executable (Program Files\Bible\Olb.exe).
  3. Right click the executable and click the Properties option.
  4. Select the Compatibility tab.
  5. Select the Run This Program in Compatibility Mode option.
  6. From the drop-down list, choose "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)".
  7. If necessary, select the option to run the program as an administration.
  8. Click OK.
 
Vista has introduced numerous security improvements. The Limited User accounts under XP were so "limited" they were useless. Not so with the "Standard Accounts" of Vista. Microsoft got it right this time and every user should use them. To run  your Vista system securly you should create a Standard User account, password protect both it and the Administrator account. Use the Standard account to do everything including installing new software. You should very rarely have to log out of your Standard account to login to the Administrator Account.  If a virus gets into a Standard Account, it can only look at your system files and programs files but cannot change or delete them. However, if you run everything in the Administator Account your system is wide open to virus attack. The standard firewall that comes with Vista is more than adequate you do not need to buy a third party firewall. AVG from http://free.avg.com is a free virus checker that works well with Vista. We do not recommend Norton or Mcafee. These unnecessarily interfere with the normal operation of programs.
 
The Online Bible has been tested on both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Vista and runs quite well.
 
VISTA has also left off a file needed to run the Audio Bible. This is included on our current Online Bible package but can also be downloaded here.
