Problems running the “Help” on Vista / Win7

turboproject — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:14:29 +0000

The TurboProject application runs well on Vista and Windows 7. However the Help function requires a system update to run under Vista. Microsoft released a patch to fix this problem. In the TurboProject application, go to Help/Help on Vista. This will take you to a download on Microsoft’s site.

Will TurboProject read and write MS-Project files?

turboproject — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:08:04 +0000

TurboProject will write an .mpx file which can be opened in MS-Project. However, Microsoft eliminated the MPX gateway with MS-Project 2000. Therefore MS-Project will not create a file that can be directly read into TurboProject.

A workaround is to use the Live Viewer from Kadonk (www.kadonk.com) which will read MS-Project .mpp files and convert them to .mpx files, which then can be read into TurboProject.

Problems running TurboProject on Vista 64-Bit.

turboproject — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:16:42 +0000

TurboProject runs on 64-bit Vista without any problem, except DEP (Data Execution Prevention).

The problem is that the protection code (Software passport part) is not compatible with DEP. On Vista 32 and XP the DEP is enabled for Windows modules only. On Vista 64 it is enabled for all program and modules.

The solution is to add TP.exe to the DEP exception list. To do that:

Control Panel->System->Advanced System Settings->Performance: Settings->Data Execution Prevention->Add
Set full path to TP.EXE (by default – C:\Program Files (x86)\Org Professional\TurboProject v.4\Bin\tp.exe
