Turned out I was working under my daughter's log-in, which has no
administrative priv.
When I logged in under mine, no problem......Thanks though.

Why the heck would the writer have set higher than 'guest' privileges on

I'd think it would be set as 'user'... so that it would run in most basic

Did you get it from Helminc.com ?
If not, I think many of them are poorly made, full of read errors.
It works one time, and not the next.
Try start-run-eventvwr.msc and look at System errors.
