Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Can we run the software over a network distribution system?

No. The software licenses specifically prohibit the use of the software over a network.

Does the software work on Windows?

All supported software is compatible with Windows XP, and therefore should also work with Windows Vista and Windows 7. However, Gander discontinued software development before the advent of those operating systems: compatibility is not guaranteed, and no updates are available. None of the software is guaranteed to work on any system more recent than Windows XP.

Does the software work on Mac OS X?

All supported software is compatible with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) and therefore should also work with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) and OS X Snow Leopard (10.6). However, Gander discontinued software development before the advent of those operating systems: compatibility is not guaranteed, and no updates are available.

Unfortunately, Mac OS X – Lion (10.7) does not include or support Rosetta, the software that enabled applications built for PowerPC processors to run on newer Macs, which have Intel processors. Thus, Gander's software applications are NOT compatible with Mac OS X – Lion, or any system more recent than Snow Leopard (10.6), including El Capitan and Yosemite.

I installed the software and it works for me, but it doesn't work for my students. Why not?

Usually this happens when the software was installed under one user account (for example, administrator) and it is being used under a different user account (for example, student). The software must be installed under the same user account that will be using the software. To repair this issue, uninstall the software and reinstall it under the appropriate user account. See the Read-Me notes provided with the software for further information.

We cannot give our student user account permission to install software, or let it keep that level of rights after the install is complete. What can we do?

For the software to work, the user account running the software must have unrestricted rights to install and access items in specific folders. These folders are identified below under the listing for each software product.

If the computer user account running the software does not have unrestricted access to the specified folders (and all the subfolders and files they contain), the software will not work.

The procedure for granting a computer user account unrestricted access to specific folders varies by operating system. Please see your system's Help menu or consult with your local technical support.

My password isn't working. What should I do?`1

The password probably contains numbers, symbols, or spaces. The V/V® Blue software was produced at a time when passwords and access protection were less sophisticated than they are now. The password routine only recognizes passwords that are all lowercase letters. Using #2 above, change everything between the quotation marks to all lowercase letters. Save the change when you close the document. Whatever you entered will now be a password that should work.

I don't know the password to use at the Instructor screen. What can I do?

Use the search function on your computer to find vv_pref.txt. Open it. You will see this text on the first line: password:=”XXXX”. Whatever is inside the quotation marks is your password.

On my Macintosh computer, when I first start the OS 9 or OS 10 installer, it immediately asks for my password. What is my password?

This is an error in the installer. What it actually needs is your serial number, which is located on the inside front cover of the CD case. Type in the serial number carefully and be sure to capitalize any letters and include any dashes.

Which folders/directories does the V/V® Blue software need to access?

For V/V® Blue software to work, the computer user account running the software must have unrestricted rights to install and access items in the following locations:

Windows:

  • Local Disk (C:) > Program Files > GanderStuff
  • Local Disk (C:) > Documents and Settings > "User Account" > Application Data > Macromedia

Mac:

  • Macintosh HD > Applications > GanderStuff

And one of the following:

  • Macintosh HD > System > Preferences > Macromedia (OS 9)
  • Macintosh HD > Macromedia (OS 10.0–10.1)
  • Macintosh HD > Users > "User Account" > Library > Application Support > Macromedia (OS 10.2 and above)

If the computer user account running the software does not have unrestricted access to GanderStuff and Macromedia and all the subfolders and files they contain, the software will not work.

The procedure for granting a user account unrestricted access to folders varies by operating system. Please see your system's Help menu or consult with your local technical support.
