I should perhaps mention that two volunteers who were experiencing "Run time error 429 etc" problems when installing WinBMD on Vista PC overcame their problem when I mentioned they should try installing WinBMD in its own created folder C;/WinBMD. Apparently they were using the default Program/WinBMD. I've always had WinBMD in its own folder C;/WinBMD but have just deleted WinBMD and reinstalled it in Program files and it works fine for me. So there is still a mystery why a handful of volunteers can't install WinBMD on their Vista PC.

It is only the output path that should be under Documents not WinBMD! "Many Vista users find advantages in storing their transcription files in 'Documents' rather than in its default location of 'Program Files/WinBMD/Output'. In WinBMD use File/Define Save Path to specify a location in Documents to store your transcription files; a folder WinBMD/Output is suggested (these folders will have to be created prior to redefining the path)." Unfortunately, it appears that the dialogue box you get for File/Define Save Path does not allow folder creation. Do we have to explain how to create folders? The issue I have with adding this to advice to 3b is it also applies to XP so perhaps it should be a separate TKB item referenced from 3b.
