Delphi/Paradox Database desktop DBD32.exe settings for Windows 7
Does anyone have any suggestions on the compatibility setting on Windows 7 for the Delphi/Paradox Database desktop program so that it displays properly in Windows 7 (x64)?
We've tried quite a few combinations of selections on the Compatibility tab on the .exe's Properties screen. But, none of them have eliminated fixed our problem:
It runs fine, but the buttons on the structuring screens are missing their text and are not clickable. The work-around is to use the keyboard shortcuts for these buttons, but obviously, although workable, that's not ideal.
Pre-emptive prose: Yes, we know we're on risky ground and need to migrate away from Paradox, which in some future version of Windows will not be supported. (But, we've got a million+ lines of code and migration won't be easy...)
I can confirm that disabling UAC and moving Database Desktop out out C:\Program Files makes buttons work again.
