Using Windows Vista and Windows 7

Windows Vista and Windows 7 have a "User Account Control" (UAC) protection feature that requires a user to "Allow" programs to run with Administrative privileges. Consequently, when installing or running CTI Navigator in Windows Vista or Windows 7, you should  select "Allow" on any User Account Control screen. When downloading MLS data or taxes from the Internet into Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click on the downloaded file and select "Run as Administrator" (for details see Set Program to Run with Administrative Privileges below). 

Due to extra security in Windows 7 and Vista, programs that need access to Windows system files must be specifically given "administrative privileges". To temporarily assign administrative privileges during the current Windows session, right-click on the program icon on the Windows desktop (or on the executable program file in Windows Explorer which is the target of the icon, or on the program in the "All Programs" list) > left-click on "Run as Administrator" > click Allow. Use this procedure to run installation files that have been saved from the Internet into Windows 7/Vista or to specify that a program (such as CTI Navigator, NotePad, WordPad, or Office Outlook) open with administrative rights. 

Administrative privileges also can be permanently assigned to a program. To manually set a program to always run as an administrator in Windows 7 or Vista: open Windows Explorer > browse to the program folder >  right-click on the program executable (.exe) file > select Properties > click the Compatibility tab > under Privilege Level, check "Run this program as an Administrator" > click Apply > click "Show/Check Settings for All Users" button (if this button is displayed) and in Privilege Level under the Compatibility for All Users tab, check "Run this program as an Administrator" > click OK. 

If CTI Navigator was installed prior to April 19, 2012, it must have administrative privileges in order to save user information, keep itself up-to-date, and function properly. Therefore, you should verify that Windows did assign administrative privileges to CTI Navigator. To do so, open Windows Explorer > browse to C:\Program Files\CTI Navigator\ (or, in a 64-bit version of Windows, to C:\Program Files (x86)\CTI Navigator\) >  right-click on CTI Navigator.exe > select Properties > click the Compatibility tab > under Privilege Level, check "Run this program as an Administrator" > click Apply > click "Show/Change Settings for All Users" button (if this button is displayed) and in Privilege Level under the Compatibility for All Users tab, check "Run this program as an Administrator" > click OK. Use the same steps to also verify or manually set administrative privileges for the CTIUpdateManager.exe file in the CTI Navigator folder (right-click on CTIUpdateManager.exe > select Properties > click the Compatibility tab > under Privilege Level, check "Run this program as an Administrator" > click Apply or OK). 

If CTI Navigator was installed prior to April 19, 2012 and it does not have administrative privileges in Windows 7 or Vista, this can lead to a wide variety of errors such as 429 - "ActiveX component can't create object", error 380 - "Invalid Property Value", "Permission Denied", "Path or File Access" error (75), or a Windows component error such as "Component vslight.ocx or one of its dependencies not correctly registered - a file is missing or invalid" (see appropriate  Related Articles at the end of this article). It can even cause problems with printing or emailing. Not having administrative privileges also can result in CTI Navigator updates being trapped in the Windows Virtual Store (where they are inaccessible after Windows restarts) rather than being saved in the appropriate place in CTI Navigator. 

To help address such issues, installation of CTI Navigator was changed on April 19, 2012 to use a new Windows service that is separate from the program files.  Therefore, installations of CTI Navigator after April 19, 2012 do not require Administrative privileges.   

The User Account Control (UAC) in Windows Vista and Windows 7 is designed to prevent accidental or unauthorized system access or changes (such as by spyware or malware). UAC is much less obtrusive in Windows 7 than in Vista. However,  sometimes it may be necessary to temporarily disable UAC (such as to allow a trusted helper like CTI to remotely troubleshoot security issues and/or make changes to your computer's settings).  

UAC in Windows Vista

To confirm whether UAC is on or off in Windows Vista, click Start > Control Panel > Security Center > click the down arrow beside "Other Security Settings".

To Disable or Enable User Account Control (UAC) in Windows Vista (or Windows 7):

An updated version of Outlook Express called “Windows Mail” is included in Windows Vista. To send MLS reports out through Windows Mail in Vista, Windows Mail must be setup with your e-mail account and e-mail provider information (see related article, "Email - How to Setup and Use  Email in Windows to Send MLS Reports"), and Windows Mail must be set as the default mail program for Windows (see note 3 below for web-based e-mail such as Hotmail and MSN). To set WinMail as the default e-mail program: open Windows Control Panel > select Internet Options > select Programs tab > in "Internet Programs" section, click Set Programs button > select “Set your default programs” > select Windows Mail in the list of Programs (on left) > select “Set this program as default” > click the OK button (bottom right).

If you have User Account Control (UAC) enabled in Vista, Windows Mail must be closed before MLS reports can be transferred from CTI Navigator into Windows Mail. Otherwise, the UAC in Vista treats the transfer as a separate login attempt and blocks it. If you get a "Login Failed...clsSendMail_Send" error message, you must either:

1. Re-start Vista (and do not re-open Windows Mail) to clear the failed transfer login; or
2. Close the error message > close Windows Mail > open Windows Task Manager (see note 1) > select the Processes tab > right-click on WinMail.exe> select "End Process". 

If you continue to encounter e-mail errors after manually ending WinMail.exe process (described above), you may need to disable the User Account Control and re-start Vista (see note 2 below).

Note 1: Instructions to open the Windows Task Manager are under Program Controls below. 

Note 2: If you want to leave your e-mail program (Windows Mail or Office Outlook) always open, see Managing Vista's User Account Control and the UAC Policy note above). 

Note 3: According to Microsoft, "Windows Mail no longer supports the HTTP servers that are used by Hotmail, MSN and other Web-based e-mail providers such as AOL mail, Google mail, and Yahoo! mail." To access web-based e-mail in Vista or Windows 7, Microsoft recommends using Windows Live Mail (see related article, Windows Live Mail...) which is described on CTI's support web page,"Email - How to Setup and Use  Email in Windows to Send MLS Reports". 

Windows 7: Must Add e-mail Program

Unlike all other versions of Windows, Windows 7 does not include any built-in e-mail program (such as Windows Mail in Vista, or Outlook Express in XP). This means that to email MLS reports from Navigator Desktop through Windows 7 (or Windows 8) you need to install a program in Windows to handle e-mail. (For Windows 8, see "Emailing MLS information in Windows 8".)  Microsoft recommends downloading Microsoft's free Windows Live Mail, or purchasing and installing Microsoft Office Outlook, to e-mail from within Windows 7 or 8. To open and use Windows Live Mail, you must have a free Windows Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live ID. Free third-party desktop e-mail programs such as Mozilla's Thunderbird also can be downloaded and installed for handling e-mail in Windows 7 or 8. For more information on setting up email, see "Email - How to  Setup and Use Email in Windows" in the related articles section at the end of this webpage. 

If you have Microsoft Outlook installed (as part of the Microsoft Office package) but want to use a different e-mail program (such as Windows Live Mail) to send MLS Reports, you may need to specify the default e-mail program in your Windows 7. For instructions to do this, see the "Change default e-mail program from Office Outlook" section on this webpage.

To send MLS reports out through Microsoft "Office Outlook", Office Outlook must be setup with your e-mail account and e-mail provider information (see related article, "Email Service Setup in Windows"), and Office Outlook must be set as the default mail program for Windows. When Microsoft Office is installed or updated, Outlook automatically sets itself as the default mail program for Windows. 

In addition, Microsoft's Office Outlook program is set to process only e-mail created by one of the programs (such as Word or Excel) in Microsoft's Office suite. To be able to send e-mail through Microsoft Outlook from programs (such as CTI Navigator) that are not part of Microsoft Office, you need to either install and/or activate Outlook's Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) feature from Microsoft or, for Outlook 2010 (which lacks a CDO feature), install special files from CTI. 

Outlook 2010. To install CTI's special programming so that MLS reports or MLS contacts can be e-mailed through Outlook, first close both CTI Navigator and Office Outlook. Then download and unzip the CDO Fix file appropriate for your version of Windows (CDO_Fix.exe for 32-bit Windows and CDOx86Fix.exe for 64-bit Windows). Do not change the "unzip to folder" from "C:\" unless you installed CTI Navigator in a non-standard location. 

 Note: If you are unsure whether your Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit, see the section below to "Determine the Edition and System Type of Windows". 

Windows Vista or Windows 7 with User Account Control ON (the default setting)

• 32-bit Windows: Click on CDO_Fix.exe > Save this file to Desktop (or a  Downloads directory) > right-click on the downloaded CDO_Fix.exe file > select "Run as Administrator" > on the User Account Control screen, select Allow > select Unzip (not Winzip). A message that "3 files unzipped successfully" should display. After verifying that e-mails send without a CDO error, you can delete the downloaded CDO_Fix.exe file. 
• 64-bit Windows: Click on CDOx86Fix.exe > Save this file to Desktop (or a  Downloads directory) > right-click on the downloaded CDOx86Fix.exe file > select "Run as Administrator" > on the User Account Control screen, select Allow > select Unzip (not Winzip). A message that "3 files unzipped successfully" should display. After verifying that e-mails send without a CDO error, you can delete the downloaded CDOx86Fix.exe file.

To e-mail MLS reports through a 64-bit version of Office Outlook 2010 (which is not widely used), install Microsoft's "Outlook Hotmail Connector 64-bit" instead of CTI's special codes. The free "Outlook Hotmail Connector 64-bit" connects e-mail and contacts from Windows Live Hotmail (which accepts text links from CTI Navigator) into 64-bit Outlook. See the related article link at the end of this webpage, "Microsoft Outlook 2010 Hotmail Connector 64-bit", to download this Hotmail Connector. Then use your free Windows Live Hotmail account in your 64-bit Outlook 2010.

Outlook 2007. For Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2007, first close Outlook and then download the package of missing Collaboration Data Objects from Microsoft at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=73608. To install the CDOs: Save the ExchangeCdo.exe file from this website to your Desktop > right-click on and Run this file "as Administrator" to extract to your Desktop > Open the ExchangeCdo folder that is created when you run the "ExchangeCdo.exe" file > then right-click on and Run the ExchangeCdo.MSI installer as Administrator. (Both the ExchangeCdo file and folder can be deleted off the desktop once you have confirmed that the CDO feature works to allow e-mail files to transfer into Outlook.) If your e-mail provider is using Exchange 2007 Server, you may also need to download and install the MAPI Client code for Microsoft Exchange Server at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E17E7F31-079A-43A9-BFF2-0A110307611E&displaylang=en. After installing the CDO and/or MAPI client code into Office Outlook, you may need to re-start Windows . 

Outlook 2003. For typical installations of Office Outlook 2003, the CDO feature just needs to be activated. To activate CDO in Outlook 2003: close Outlook > open Windows Control Panel > click "Programs and Features" > highlight the appropriate Microsoft Office > click the Change button (at the top of the list) > select "Add or Remove Features" > click the plus (+) beside Microsoft Office Outlook > click the down arrow beside the red "X" in front of  "Collaboration Data Objects" > select "Run from my computer" > click the Update button (if prompted, insert the Microsoft Office CD in your CD drive) > click OK.

Note 1: For details and screen images on fixing a CDO error in Office Outlook, see the related article below, "Fix Office Outlook Collaborative Data Object (CDO), Active X or Unspecified Email error". 

Note 2: If you have User Account Control (UAC) enabled in Windows Vista or Windows 7 and have installed Microsoft's CDOs, Office Outlook needs to be closed before MLS reports can be transferred from CTI Navigator into Office Outlook. To fix an e-mail error (after CDO's have already been installed in Office Outlook) such as "clsMailOutlook", "[Collaboration Data Objects-]", "Function:clsSendMail_Send" or similar error message: 

1. Close Office Outlook if it is open
2. Open Windows Task Manager (see Windows Task Manager under Program Controls below) 
3. Select the Processes tab
4. Right-click on Outlook.exe > select "End Process"
5. In Vista, also right-click on WinMail.exe and select "End Process", if it is listed under Processes. 

If you want to leave Office Outlook open continuously and also be able to send MLS reports, you can either disable Windows Vista/7 UAC (not recommended except temporarily); set Windows policy to automatically elevate privilege for administrators only; or give Outlook administrative privileges during the current Windows session by setting it to "Run as Administrator" (see Set Program to Run with Administrative Privileges below). You can locate Outlook's program file (Outlook.exe) either by using the Windows Search function, or by opening Windows Explorer and browsing to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12. 

Otherwise, if you continue to encounter e-mail errors after manually ending the e-mail process (as described above), or if you prefer to leave your Office Outlook open, you may disable User Account Control (see Managing Vista's User Account Control above) and re-start Windows. 

To determine if Internet Explorer is the default web browser in Windows Vista, 7, 8.1, or 10:  click Start (right-click in Windows 8.1 or 10) > Control Panel > double-click on Internet Options > select Programs tab > Default Web Browser ("Opening Internet Explorer" in Windows 10). To set Internet Explorer as the default web browser (if it is not already), click the "Make default" button ("Make IE the default browser" in Windows 10) and check "Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default web browser." 

To set or change a default program (such as for e-mail or web browser) in Windows: [if changing e-mail from Office Outlook, also see change default e-mail program below]

1. Click Start  (right-click in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10) > select Control Panel > Default Programs
2. Select "Set your default programs" 
3. Select the desired program from the list (on the left pane)
4. Select “Set this program as default” (in lower right pane)
5. Click the OK button (bottom right).

To confirm a change in the default web browser in Windows 7, click Start, type any Internet address starting with "www" in the box at the bottom, and then press the Enter key on your keyboard. That web page will open in Windows' default browser.

To confirm a change in the default web browser in Windows Vista: click Start, select Run {if Run is not available, hold down the Windows logo key and press "R"} > type any Internet address starting with "http://'' {you may click on any item in a list of visited sites if it displays} > click OK or press the Enter key. That web page will open in Windows' default browser.

To Verify or Change which E-mail program is set as the default for sending e-mail through Windows Vista, 7, 8.1, or 10: 

1. Click Start > {Control Panel} > Default Programs
2. Select "Set your default programs" 
3. Select the desired program from the list of installed programs (on the left pane)
4. Select "Choose defaults for this program" 
5. Go to the bottom section of program associations and 
   • In Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 check "Send Mail Command"
   • In Windows Vista check "E-mail Link"
6. Click the OK button (bottom right).

Change Default E-mail Program: Normally you can use "Set your default programs" as described above to change your default e-mail program in Vista or, once an e-mail program has been installed, in Windows 7, 8 and 10. However, if Office Outlook gets set as the default (see "Override Outlook" note below) - which can happen automatically when the Office suite updates on your computer- , to change the default e-mail program from Office Outlook to another e-mail program (such as "Windows Live Mail", "Windows Mail", or Thunderbird), it may be necessary to either "Verify or Change the default association for sending" as described above, and/or customize program access (to block Outlook from interfering with your preferred default email program) as follows:

1. Click Start (right-click in Windows 8.1 and 10) > select Control Panel > Default Programs
2. Select "Set Program Access and computer defaults" 
3. Select Custom and click the downward pointing chevron symbols button on the right. This will open a list for setting default  configurations. 
4. Select "Choose a default e-mail program" 
5. Select Windows Mail in Vista, or any other installed e-mail program listed in Windows 10, 8, 7 or Vista
6. Check "Enable access to this program"
7. Option: it is not normally necessary, but under Microsoft Office Outlook you also may uncheck "Enable access to this program". Otherwise, if you do not intend to use Outlook, you may prefer to un-install the Outlook component of Office to prevent future changes to your default email settings by Office updates. (To uninstall, see add, remove or repair a program below.) 
8. Click OK.

Override Outllook Default note:  Windows Updates that include updates to Microsoft Office may set the Outlook component of Office as your default email handler for all email in Windows - even though you may be using a different default email program. If you do not use Outlook, you may want to uninstall this component of Microsoft Office. Otherwise, follow the steps above to set your Program Access and computer defaults to your preferred email handler. For more information on setting up email, see "Email - How to  Setup and Use Email in Windows" in the related articles section at the end of this webpage.

If you are still unable to log into CTI Navigator over the Internet or to send information (such as listings, photos, or Matchmakers) from your computer to the MLS server, run the following "SOAP" patch to ensure that Windows and CTI Navigator are using Microsoft's enhanced computer-to-server Internet connectivity codes:

1. Close CTI Navigator
2. Click on the link SOAP Default.aspx
3. Click the Install button
4. If a screen appears requesting to close the tab or Window, click NO
5. If an ActiveX warning bar appears in the top section of your Internet browser, click where indicated to download or  "Install ActiveX Control" 
6. If an error message appears that some .tmp file cannot be found, close the message and click on the link Setup.exe  
7. At the prompt to Run or Save setup.exe, click Run (or if you prefer you can Save the file to your desktop and Run it as Administrator) 
8. If your Windows does not already have the primary files for Microsoft's .NET Framework installed, they will be downloaded automatically. This may take 15 to 25 minutes. Vista and Windows 7 already include the primary files for .Net Framework and so, will automatically skip this step unless Microsoft has issued updates to these files.  
9. At the prompt, install CTI Navigator.
10. Re-start Windows.

Note: This "SOAP" patch may fail to install if the codes are already up-to-date on your computer. No other files are needed.

Sometimes application extension files (.DLL or .OCX) must be manually registered to properly support functions in a program such as CTI Navigator. A variety of Active X, Automation, or "Run-time" type errors can result when associated application extension files (also called ActiveX controls) are not registered in Windows for use by the program.  

To register an individual ActiveX control (dll or ocx) file in Windows Vista or Windows 7 (see note 1 below for shortcut when registering multiple files):

1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories
2. Right-click on "Command Prompt" in the Accessories
3. Click "Run as Administrator"
4. Change Directory (if necessary) as appropriate:
   • To go to the root directory on the hard drive, type cd\  [then press Enter]
   • To register a CTI dll file in a 32-bit version of Windows, type cd\Program Files\Cti Navigator [then press Enter]
   • To register a CTI dll file in a 64-bit version of Windows, type cd\Program Files (x86)\Cti Navigator [then press Enter]
   • To register a 32-bit dll or ocx Windows System file in a 32-bit version of Windows, type cd\Windows\System32 [then press Enter]
   • To register a 32-bit dll or ocx Windows System file in a 64-bit version of Windows, type cd \Windows\SysWOW64  [then press Enter]   {see note 2 below}
5. Type regSvr32 {fileName.dll}  [or regSvr32 fileName.ocx as appropriate] 
   • Note 1: Substitute the name of the file to be registered for "fileName" and do not type the {} braces. Also, there is one space between regsvr32 and the fileName. For example, to register the CTI Announcement file, type regsvr32 ctiannouncement.dll .
6. A message indicating "DllRegisterServer in... succeeded" should appear.

Note 1: Registration Shortcut. You can add a file to the Windows Vista registry that will allow you to right-click on any DLL file and simply select Register or Unregister (without going through the detailed commands above). This is especially helpful when registering or un-registering multiple files. To add the Register and Unregister command to your right-click menu in Windows Explorer, go to www.ctimls.com/Downloads/Windows/Vista/VistaDll.reg > click Save > right-click on the saved file in your Vista > select Merge > accept the registry change notice. To also add a file to the Windows Vista registry that will allow you to right-click on any OCX file to register or unregister it, go to www.ctimls.com/Downloads/Windows/Vista/VistaOcx.reg > click Save > right-click on the saved file in your Vista > select Merge > accept the registry change notice.  Warning:  Before making any registry changes, Microsoft highly recommends that you make a backup of your registry (see related article below, "How to Back up and Restore the Registry in Windows XP and Vista").

For more details, see the related article below, "Register dll or ocx files".

Note 2: DLL Folders. In a 64-bit version of Windows, 32-bit versions of Windows system files and DLL libraries (used by CTI Navigator) are in the "Windows\SysWOW64" folder; and 64-bit versions of Windows system files and DLL libraries are in the "Windows\System32" folder. In a 32-bit version of Windows, the Windows system files and DLLs are in the "Windows\System32" folder (and there is no SysWOW64 folder).
