[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1089833, member: 74879"] Hi, Obviously a Windows 8 (8.1) installation. Microsoft has introduced more "discipline" regarding the user privileges. Even Windows systems don't change on their own, so the question now is: What did you do? Are you running Win as a standard user or an admin? Did you ensure that MePo is not started under a different user context than the one you are logged in? What you may want to do is try starting MePo with admin rights by ticking the respective option in the desktop icon's properties. If it now runs, close MePo and try again without setting it to Admin. Sometimes this is enough to set the privileges for the paths. Next thing to try is to change the user to administrator. Again, if it now works you have narrowed down the reason. I would then assume that you installed the software not for ALL users but an admin only and now try to run it as a different user with non-admin privileges only. You can fix all this by setting access right to the MePo folders in C.\User\AppData... - or maybe easier - uninstall and reinstall with correct user contexts. regards. HTPC_Sourcer [/QUOTE]
