Test driving the trial version to see if I like this product. After every session I have to reinstall the software, it won't load after I exit. This is the error message from Windows:

Try running as Administrator...

Any solution to this besides running as admin. I see no option to do that. I've used this program for years and never had this issue. Now, suddenly, I have to reinstall it every time I want to use it. I get the exact same message as above: Problem signature:

Has anyone solved this?

This can happen even if you are running as an Administrator, and it is caused by Windows very strict security settings.

IMPORTANT: You must follow all 3 Steps if Run as Administrator does not correct the issue (Step 1).

Step 1:
First, configure the shortcut to always run as administrator. Here's how:

1. Right-click the shortcut icon, and click Properties.
2. Click the Compatibility tab.
3. Here, put a check mark by Run This Program as an Administrator.
4. Next, put a check mark next to Run This Program in Compatibility Mode For: and ensure Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3 is selected.
5. Click OK.

In the end your settings should match this:


Step 2:
Set the application as an exception to Windows Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature. Normally if this is the culprit, you'll get a little bubble along the taskbar notifying you, which will allow you to set the offender as an exception.

Step 3:
One last option that could be the cause of this, and related to the DEP feature, is User Account Controls. This is the large window that appears in Vista asking you to "Allow" or "Deny" access to functions within programs. You can turn this off within your Control Panel > User Accounts window, along the left-hand pane.
