It's on another machine with SpaceSniffer

Ok, after some testing, it's working fine for me with SpaceSniffer 1.1.4.0.

Double check to see if these are true:

You started completely over on this since it failed the first time. Otherwise you will never get it to work.
The SpaceSniffer.exe file is located where all users have full access to. For example, at "C:\Program Files\spacesniffer_1_1_4_0\SpaceSniffer.exe"
You used compatibility mode with Run this program as an Administrator checked for the SpaceSniffer.exe file
You have followed the steps in the tutorial exactly.

Hello Rajparjapati, and welcome to Seven Forums.

From the command you used, it looks like you do not have a space between take2 and /savecred.

Hope this helps,

Shawn

I tried and tried and tried with my personal admin account named "user" and it would not work at all. But what I found out is that the real "user"'s name is "user2" just in case anyone else has the problem.

Hello Metalcoat, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Are you using the built-in "Administrator" account with this? It will not work with just a normal administrator account.
