    check this out. i rebooted and logged into my admin account (seperate user and admin) and i ran it and it worked. something weird about that. do you think i might have some virus or something?

    If your 'user' account does not have administrative privileges, then that is the problem right there.

    My 'user' account still has administrative privileges - so when I get a UAC prompt I only have to click OK to give consent for elevated privileges. If I had a standard user account, though, I'd be asked for a user name and PW for administrative privileges.

    My guess sis that you're using a limited account as was prevalent in Networks and NT back in the day. The whole purpose of UAC is to avoid having to do that.

    ya, that sounds like its it. i had figured that running it as admin would have elevated my privileges, but i guess thats not too big of a problem. probably sort of a benefit.
