Not working in Vista
I have Sql-Prompt version 3.10.1.0 and I'm running SQL Server 2000. I am running all this on a new Dell machine (core-2-duo 2.4GHz, 2G Ram) running Windows Vista.
After re-installing all my apps, SQL-Prompt 3 is no longer working (was working on my old XP SP2 workstation): I open Query Analyzer as usual but I get no SQL-Prompt3 dialog saying it's connecting and no code-completion is working.
Can you help?

Can you right-click on the Prompt icon in the task bar? Is 'Start SQL Prompt when you start Query Analyzer' ticked?
If not, please do start your SQL Prompt tray application from the Start-Programs menu which would enable SQL Prompt on your Query Analyser.
Alternatively, try to restart Query Analyser on starting the SQL Prompt tray application.

Would you also ensure if 'Start SQL Prompt when you start Query Analyzer' is checked? You can find this option when you right click on SQL Prompt's task tray icon.

Yes, it's checked. Any ideas why it's not working?
Thanks

This is true; one of our developers kindly explained this to me yesterday. Because of the rather interesting way SQL Prompt hooks into Query Analyzer's menu bar, it has to be launched by the user from the desktop or start menu. Running QA from inside the Enterprise Manager Tools menu or using the runAs command doesn't alert SQL Prompt TrayApp that it has started.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
