You used Payroll Pro previously with no problems, then suddenly you cannot start Payroll Pro - and an error message appears.

If there has been no problem using Payroll Pro previously, then you will find that something outside the control of Payroll Pro has changed.

You might receive a message such as "Network Initialisation Failed" or some other unusual message.

You may find with Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, simply changing the shortcut property to "Run as Administrator" will solve this.
To run Payroll Pro as an "Administrator":

> Exit all programs including Payroll Pro.
> Right click on the shortcut icon on your desktop, and choose "Properties".
> Next, find the "Compatibility" tab and select this.
> Locate "Run as Administrator" and tick this.
> You will find that each time you run Payroll Pro, Windows will ask you if you are sure you want to run this program -
just answer Yes (or OK).

If this does not solve the problem, or the setting cannot be changed, it is possible that some other security setting, or administration setting or rights have been changed on your computer. We suggest you have your IT person look into this for you.

 

If this does not solve the problem, please have a look at:
