Even if UAC is off, you need to right-click > Run as Administrator to actually, well, run it as admin.

i will try that when i get home from work. actually i try it right now.
well i just tried it no joy . i am going to try my own from the order mod. ok this is what i found out the exe file from the order mod works no cd so i guess it has to do with how much editing has actually gone into the exe file.

rsabatino

ok i got home after 6:00pm down loaded another mod i worked on with the same patch and used the exe file no problems. i did back the mod up on an sd card could that have messed up the exe file i dont know.

Maybe you can check how you define the Heuristic bloodhound.
If that is loaded to max norton is hyperactive.

I suggest Comodo as a good Virus Scanner and Security System

http://comodo.com
its free and updates normally every other day.

i am using malwarebytes one of my affiliates and security essentials by microsoft i think it was a corrupt exe file

Avast here. It slows down my system but so do the others.

Next step is to get rid of all and go to Linux.

Avira. One of the few that does NOT actually slow your system down…

Except if you have an ancient single-core CPU

I did try it some time ago FF, but it kept popping up windows to make me buy it, so I got tired of it and replaced it.

I can’t remember if it slowed me down a lot or just a tad though.

Avira gets my vote, although it has now been replaced by MS Essentials on my system.

Whilst I recommend Comodo for Firewall, I do NOT recommend it’s anti virus scanner unless something miraculous happened to it. It’s firewall is undoubtedly the best free firewall (along with really annoying HIPS) - but the Anti Virus was found to be crap (basically).

Microsoft Security Essentials. Free, works, not intrusive.

Well, except for the times it crashes FL.

StarTrader

Odd. There were instances of people not being able to run FL on Win 7 until it was de-installed?

It interferes with the client graphics detection, so obviously the server won’t be affected.
