Gina:

MS has incorporated various safeguards into Win7.  Many of the things 
we could do with XP
are difficult to accomplish in Win7.  Windows has so many weaknesses 
and backdoors, for
security reasons, many operations in Win7 have to be executed as 
administrator.  Another
issue is file permissions, they locked a lot of things down.  I can't 
remember the correct term,
but there is a way to lessen up some of the security stuff.

I haven't had this problem, since I'm running XP on my main computer, 
but I've had to do a lot
of tweaks on one of my Win7 boxes in order for things to run right.

You would think that since you are the only user on the computer, you 
are the administrator.
Unless you specify to run a program as "administrator," you aren't.

I know this isn't a good answer, but might explain some of the problems.
