4 Health Companion® and Vista Stabilix® Health Companion® 2.00.02 can be downloaded and installed on PCs running Windows Vista. However, if you were running Health Companion® 2.00.01 (or any of its earlier versions) under Windows XP, you must first make a backup of your database while running Windows XP before upgrading your Windows and installing Health Companion® 2.00.02. 4.1 Steps for Upgrading to Health Companion® 2.00.02 for Users who are using 1.20.01 or earlier versions and wanting to Upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista Step one: Create a backup while running Health Companion® on Windows XP This step must be performed while Windows XP is still your operating system. You can initiate the creation of a backup directly by selecting ‘Backup Health Companion’ found under Health Companion®’s main menu option ‘Administration'. The pop-up window allows you to name the backup file and select a location on your computer to store it. By default, backups are saved as ‘backup.shc’.
Health Companion® also asks whether you would like to create a backup of the information each time you exit the application. You can answer Yes, No or Cancel to the ‘Would you like to back up your data now?’ question. If you click ‘Yes’ then:
1. Provide a location to store backups on your machine
2. Enter an easy-to-recognize name
3. Click 'Save’ If you click ‘No’ then:
1. The application exits If you click ‘Cancel’ then:
1. The application remains open Step two: Install Windows Vista You can follow the usual procedure for installing the Windows Vista operating system. Step three: Install Health Companion® 2.00.02 Download the latest setup from www.hc.stabilix.com; uninstall the existing version of Health Companion® (before uninstalling the existing version, please ensure that you keep a copy of your License Key, Licensee Email and the Portal Access User Name and Password accessible from outside the application – you can obtain this information from Administration menu Health Companion® Setup). Finally, install the latest version. In this vista upgrade case, DO NOT USE THE “CHECK FOR UPGRADE FEATURE” for upgrading from earlier versions. Step four: Restore Backup Data Select ‘Restore Health Companion’, from under ‘Administration’. Browse to the location on your computer where your backups are stored and click ‘Open’. Backup data will be restored and available for viewing, printing up reports and charts, analysis and updating. If your backup data was password protected, keep note of the username and password. Restoring your backup will reinstate both the username and password. Note: After upgrading Health Companion®, the application automatically converts backups, at the time of restoration to meet the current version’s requirements. 4.2 Vista Administration Rights If you are a user, without administration rights, then Stabilix® Health Companion® will not contain any data entered by the Administrator or vice versa. This issue can be avoided if the Administrator performs the following steps after installation of Stabilix® Health Companion®: Step one: Right click on Stabilix® Health Companion® icon and select Properties.  Step two: Within the Properties Window, click the on the ‘Compatibility’ tab. Step three: Under the Compatibility tab, click the ‘Show settings for all users’ button. Before opening the next window Vista will ask you to confirm whether you want to proceed with this action - click Continue.  Step four: In the new Stabilix® Health Companion® Properties window, check the ‘Run this program as an administrator’ box.
