Hey guys,

trying to test out the software before my purchase. I'm currently running windows vista (blah) and logged in as the administrator.

after a fresh install and reboot i try to run configurator and i get the following error:
"MDX Configurator does not have the neccessary permissions to write the registery. Please close the program and run as an administrator"

i hit ok and get:
"FCC Uber MDX Configurator has stopped working"
and it asks if i want to check online for a solution or close the program
and here are the details:

Code:

Running as administrator and being logged in as an administrator are completely different things. You must do as the program says and run it as an administrator.

You are getting this message because you have UAC enabled. Right click the program then in compatibility check the "run as administrator" box. Or you have to right click the program/shortcut and choose "run as administrator" everytime.

An "administrator" user group in Vista means diddly squat. You need to run as a true admin.
