Windows Vista and later (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10) have made security much tighter than was the case in XP and previous.

 

You need to be sure you have appropriate permissions set in order to be able to use Compare.

 

This will probably involve user accounts, passwords, "share" and "security" permissions, network access type ("home network", "work network", "public network"), and firewall settings.

 

If you don't understand these items, please find somebody who can help you with the network setup.

 

CRITICAL TEST

 

From one computer, use Windows Notepad to open, modify, and save a text file in the ForScore data share on the other computer.

If you cannot save the text file successfully, ForScore's Compare process won't be able to work either.
