I’ve just released J-Fax 1.45 and J-Spell 1.25. Both are available from www.strategyonline.co.za or from www.clariondesktop.com.

J-Skype has some really cool new features, including the ability to transfer files from one PC to another using Skype! This works through firewalls, proxy servers, etc. As before, it can also make and receive calls, handle chats, and use Skype as an App-To-App protocol.

Microsoft Corp. has confirmed a new Windows zero-day bug that is already being targeted by attackers.
The vulnerability lies in the way Windows handles malformed animated cursor files and could enable a hacker to remotely take control of an infected system. The bug affects all the recent Windows releases, including its highly-touted Vista operating system. Internet Explorer is the main attack vector for the exploits.
Microsoft said in its advisory that researchers are working on a patch for the bug.

As you probably know, the Windows Vista operating system provides a new security feature named User Account Control (UAC). A Vista-aware installer is required in order to correctly install your installations on Vista. The same is true for Windows “Longhorn” (beta).

Even if your 3rd party vendor provides a Vista-aware installer, it’s not possible to correctly auto-detect the installed Clarion version.

The original Clarion 6 installer is unable to write to the win.ini file on Windows Vista (or Windows “Longhorn”) because this action requires administration execution level privileges.

We have developed a small free “Clarion 6 Vista Installation Fix” installer compiled with SetupBuilder 6.5.

You can download this code-signed application.

You can use this on Windows Vista and Windows “Longhorn”.

Just follow the wizard to apply the fix and all 3rd party installers should be able to auto-detect your Clarion 6 environment on Vista.

To uninstall the “Clarion 6 Vista Installation Fix”, just start “c6_vista_fix.exe” again or use the “Uninst_Clarion 6 Installation Fix for Vista.exe” uninstaller application located in your Clarion 6 folder.

Hope this helps.
