Additional Installation Instructions
                               For Windows Vista 64bit

Once installed on Windows Vista 64 bit, in most circumstances, you must manually move the CheckWriter folder to the Program Files directory.

We have developed a patch you can use for this. To run, CLICK HERE.

1. Once you click it will ask, "Do you want to Run or Save this file" and select RUN

2. You may get a second message, "Are you sure you want to run this software?" Select RUN

3. A CheckWriter Vista Patch "OK CANCEL" window will appear, select OK

4.  Re-map your shortcuts on your desktop or start menu by right clicking on the red checkmark icon and selecting properties. Where it says target

"C:\Program Files(x86)\CheckWriter6...

Change by deleting (x86) like this:

"C:\Program Files\CheckWriter6...

You are done.

--------------------------

If this patch is not successful, here are manual copy and paste directions:

Follow these directions with CheckWriter closed:

1. Double Click on My Computer (sometimes called "Computer") and then Double Click to open C:/

2. Locate folder called Program Files (x86) and open it.

3. Inside this folder you will find another folder called "CheckWriter 6" - Right Click on this folder without opening it and select COPY to copy the entire folder with contents.

4. Next, return to C:/ and locate the folder called "Program Files" (without the x86) and double click to open it.

5. While inside "Program Files" right click in an open area of the folder and select PASTE.  This will paste the CheckWriter 6 folder into your Program Files folder.

6.  Re-map your shortcuts on your desktop or start menu by right clicking on the red checkmark icon and selecting properties. Where it says target

"C:\Program Files(x86)\CheckWriter6...

Change by deleting (x86) like this:

"C:\Program Files\CheckWriter6...

You are done.

YOU ARE DONE. YOU CAN NOW OPEN AND USE CheckWriter without issues on your 64bit system.
