    I just downloaded MWB. It has a set up icon on my desktop, click that, it asks me to select a language, click that, it tells me I need Administration rights to open the programme and promptly shuts the programme down??? :eek:

    I am the sole user, and I log on as Admin so where's the problem here???

    I loaded a virtual sand box recently, could that have sopmething to do with it???

    Vista? program aren't given administration rights unless you right-click and 'run as administrator'.

    Thanks for the prompt reply leninbenjamin, I should have mentioned it's running XP.
    I did as advised and got this error message

    "Setup was unable to create the directory “F:\Documents and Settings\Admin\is-PDNB6.TMP” Error 5: Access is denied"



    Note: Previous the owner has F Drive set up instead of D Drive
