iLives Reader settings issues

[junspud 1,066]

Since moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10, I've had a few problems relating to Ilives reader which I haven't been able to solve, related to settings.

Firstly, the settings for Ilives Reader 093 don't seem to 'stick'. For example, I'll have the 'auto-fill' checked but it never auto-fills.

More importantly, I can't get the descriptive exemplar values to work for zone and wealth types and ect, it only shows the hex values. I have the properties pointed to tropod_properties.xml (have tried both original and new github versions), but since a bunch of the other settings aren't working, I'm not sure if that has something to do with it. I've tried setting the compatibility and running as administrator, ect but neither has worked. READER.INI does get created.

So I've been having to use the newer versions of Reader to get the descriptive values, as it does work correctly in those versions. This is fine, but, the downside is the newer version takes a few extra seconds to launch, which gets annoying. Another strange quirk, if I use the 'open with' dialog, and point to the Reader 093 executable, it still launches the newer version. This can be avoided by using version 155 instead of the installable .msi version, but I just thought it was odd.

I haven't been able to find anything on this issue, so I was wondering if anyone knew how to remedy it.

Thanks.

I'm guessing you might have it installed in C:\Program Files (x86)?  Win10 is way more persnickety about what files get updated in there such as READER.INI. It prolly thinks any changes are hackers.  

If so, make your own folder somewhere such as C:\Reader093 and move all the files into there. Check if it starts remembering your settings and then we can go from there.
