That's why our programs were unable to handle windows of administrative applications as usual. In this version, the problem has been successfully solved: now Actual Tools programs can embed their functions into system utilities under Vista/7 as well. To enable this feature, mark the Support administrative tools check box during the new version's installation. Note There is a one simple condition: you must install the program into a trusted location (e.g. Program Files folder); otherwise, this feature will not work. Multi-selection Edit Mode accelerated Multi-selection Edit Mode is a convenient tool to adjust the same option in several Specific window settings at once. However, there was a serious bug that made this tool almost unusable when selecting more than 3 items: the program began to response extremely slow. This version fixes the problem: now you can select at once as many window settings as you like and modify them without any performance penalties.   How to Upgrade Version You Registered Initially New Registration Code Required Upgrade Type What to Do 1.x-2.x Yes Free Contact our Customer Support Service to get a new registration code 3.x-5.3 (before July 9, 2009) Yes Paid Visit our Upgrade Center and enter there your original registration code - you'll be provided with the special link to purchase the new registration code with a significant discount 5.4 (since July 9, 2009) Yes Free Contact our Customer Support Service to get a new registration code 6.0 (since February 12, 2010) No Free Simply download the new version of the product you are currently using and install it Actual Virtual Desktops 1.x-2.x No Free Simply download the new version and install it Actual Multiple Monitors 1.x-2.x No Free Simply download the new version and install it Note If you do not remember the exact date when you registered your copy of Actual Tools - please, contact our Customer Support Service.   Hope the new version will be of great use for you!
