Eudora: Setting as the Default in Vista
When starting Eudora for the first time on Windows Vista, you may receive the following error after attempting to set Eudora as the default mail program:
"Eudora was unable to update the system registry. Your default mail program has not been changed".
To resolve this, make sure that Eudora is set to check if it is the default mail program (Tools -> Options -> Extra Warnings -> "Start Eudora and it's not the default mailer" should be checked). Then, quit Eudora and start it again by right-clicking on the shortcut for Eudora and selecting "Run as Administrator". When you choose to set Eudora as the default, you should no longer receive the error.
You only need to perform the "Run as Administrator" action once. From then on, start Eudora as you normally would.
