Web of Science compatibility upgrades

Corrected the processing of tagged data exported from Web of Science that contains ResearcherID
(RID) and/or Reprint Author data.

To start HistCite

 Double click on the application icon on your desktop or open the program from the Start menu.

OR

 Drag the sample HistCite data file (HistCiteSample.txt) on the desktop or any other Web of Science
export file (or files) you want to analyze and drop it on the HistCite application icon.

If you started the HistCite with no data, then select "Add file..." from the File menu and add the
sample HistCite data file (HistCiteSample.txt) on the desktop or any other Web of Science export file.

OR

 If you have used HistCite before and have saved files with the standard HistCite extension .hci,
double click on any HistCite file.

NOTE FOR VISTA USERS

If you are using Windows Vista operating system, you might have a problem starting HistCite, due to the
security measures built into Vista.

o If you get a CODE 42 error, right click on the HistCite.exe program and select "Run as Administrator".
This will eliminate the error message and it should not occur the next time you start HistCite.

o If the program fails to start entirely, you may have an issue with Vista's hardware Data Execution
Prevention system. To avoid the problem, use the following steps:

o Open the Vista Control Panel from the Start menu

o Open "System"

o Click on the "Advanced" tab

o Click on the "Settings..." button under "Performance"

o Click on the "Data Execution Prevention" tab

o Select the radio button marked "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only"

o Click out of the dialogs using "OK"
