Windows 8.1
Latest version of Web Form Builder
New install of From Builder on new laptop... I get a popup saying it needs to update the registry in admin mode. I am the only user and I have admin privileges and it won't let me do it... ??

When all else fails, reinstall the application. This time it ran the patch and I rek, accepted me as administrator.
I may be verging on old fogeydom... but I really don't like Win 8.1. Win 10 better be more like XP is all I gotta say. :P
