Damn it, I let it install while I was at school, but the installation failed (message about 'access being denied'). Wonder what went wrong (there are not multiple Windows accounts on my computer, so by default I am an administrator)?
You have to run it as adminstrator though

By running it through command prompt, right?

What Fivex means, if you're running Vista/Windows 7, about right clicking, and going to where it'll say "Runs as administer" and it should work.

Oh, OK. I see it now. (Just saved me about five minutes of unneccesary work)

It's no problem. I've used Vista for a year and I still hate it. ¬¬ Once I know how to get to my old files, before I switch to Lunix (on my XP), I'll try it.
