Yep. 6.6.0, 6.6.1 and 6.6.2 RC3 all have the same problem. Well, I mean I have the same problem with all 3. I’m sure i’m doing something goofy. This is not from a network drive. This is right from the downloads folder. Do I need to change some security settings? Dar On May 2, 2014, at

I think so, since I just clicked a button when I did some privileged things (run as admin, OK some I/O). That is, I didn’t have to type in a password. However, this is Windows 8 and I haven’t learned how to get to the control panel yet. Dar On May 2, 2014, at 11:00 PM, Richard Gaskin
