import hands from party on vista

[Matress]

Ive set up pokertracker to import hands from party LOADS of times but never with VISTA.
To set up the program file locatiosn - When i go to C:\programfile\partygaming\.... it tells me "No items match your search" ie - no .exe files!

I search for the party exe file but cannot select any objects from that folder neither!!!!

I have made sure Party is run as an admin

You need to be running all your poker software as administrator, see this FAQ

But when i try tell pokertracker where the partygaming.exe is located I am told "no items match your search"

My "C:\program files\partypoker " is empty


But "C:\programs\partygaming\partpoker...... " folder has the usual folders in it (images, handhistory ..etc)... But I cant find an executable file!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right-click on the Party desktop icon you use to start the program and select Properties from the menu.
What is the value in the "Target" field?
Is Vista prompting you to cancel/allow BOTH PT and Party to start whenever you try to open those programs? It should be.

target : C:\Programs\PartyGaming\PartyGaming.exe -P=PartyPoker

my UAC is off

And NO - Both programs start up without any prompt- the "allow or cancel " menu is no longer appearing.

With the UAC off it should be working fine then.

Open the Party auto-import window, click the Program File Locations button.
Click the Browse button next to the Party line.
Navigate to the C:\Programs\PartyGaming folder and when you do you should see the PartyGaming EXE file/icon display in the window for you to be able to click on and select.
