I downloaded the MG.zip file yesterday and now I can't find it. Where is it?

When MG.zip is downloaded onto your machine, it is placed into a "temporary internet files" folder. If your machine automatically cleans up this folder when you turn off your machine, MG.zip may have been removed. If this is the case, you will need to download MG.zip again.  Avoid this problem by immediately extracting the files from the MG.zip to a temporary folder, then run setup.exe from this folder, as per the installation instructions. The necessary files will then be installed on your machine.

I ran setup.exe and tried to access MaintenanceGuy but it didn't work.

Make sure you run setup.exe from the temporary folder - NOT from within the zip archive. The files must be extracted before you run setup. If you didn't do this the first time, extract the files from the zip file then run setup again. You will see an option called "Repair the maintenanceguy installation".  Choose this option to properly setup MaintenanceGuy.

I have run the MaintenanceGuy installation but when I try to connect to the production website secure.maintenanceguy.com, I get an error page entitled "This page must be viewed with a high security web browser.". Why can't I access the site?

Check what is typed in the "Address" field at the top of your web browser. It needs to be https://secure.maintenanceguy.com note that there is an "s" following the "http" which indicates you are moving to a secure website.

I have downloaded and installed the MaintenanceGuy files, and I can access https://secure.maintenanceguy.com . However, when I click on the "MaintenanceGuy Login.." button, I get an "error on page" message.

Check the security settings in Internet Explorer. Go to “tools” pulldown menu. Choose “internet options” Go to the “Advanced” tab. Scroll down to “Security”. Make sure that the box for “Do not save encrypted files to disk” is NOT checked.

I have installed the MaintenanceGuy files, and then run the windows update, but I still can't access the MaintenanceGuy Databases

You must upgrade windows BEFORE doing the MaintenanceGuy installation, otherwise windows will overwrite the security files, causing an access problem.

Why do I need administrative rights to install MaintenanceGuy ?

Administrative rights are required to install new programs on a computer.  The MaintenanceGuy installation process installs two programs on each local machine.  One is the Microsoft .NET framework, which is required to run MaintenanceGuy, which is a Microsoft .NET based application.  The second program is MaintenanceGuy.exe  The installation program also adds two .dll files to the Windows directory that are required by Crystal Reports, the third party printing program used by MaintenenceGuy.
