Colin WinBMD has known problems with Vista / Windows7 - see http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/vol_faq.html#3b I would suggest the following. Un-install WinBMD Use Windows Explorer to ensure all traces of the directory have been removed (usually installed in C:/Programs/WinBMD unless you changed the install path). Re-boot your PC Ensure UAC is turned on Login to an Administrator account (or right click on the install .exe and "Run as Administrator") During the install change the install path to c:/WinBMD Once installed (but before running) re-boot your PC Hope this helps Brian On 22 Mar 2012 at 14:50, AliFH CDIzzard wrote: > > > Request for help please > > I recently lost my windows compatible desktop and so have replaced > with new laptop on which i can use windows > > This however is supplied with windows 7 and I admit I am not perfectly > au fait with it, was xp user, too many dialogues about administrator > etc > > anyhow, have made attempts to upload win bmd 5 and I keep getting a > run-time error 75 Path/File access error > when trying to run the programme > > Does anyone know how to fix this please > > regards > > Colin >
