Jim, I am (as far as I know) logged in as an administrator on my Vista setup, but sometimes, for reasons that I do not pretend to understand (I'm far from a Vista expert), I get messages of the type «Access denied», even though I think I ought to have it. Thus, for example, whenever I boot to Vista, I get a message from Secunia's PSI to the effect that the programme can only be run by an Administrator and that I should log with administrative privileges and run it again. Go figure ! In any event, if you do succeed in installing and running it on your home machine and it works, I'm sure I'm not the only list member who would find the details of interest.... Henri
