unhandled exception

[HerbS]

Microsoft.Net Framework Access the path C:\settings.xml is denied.
This appears when I attempt to change the aspect ratio of Hauppauge Wintv
on windows 7 64.
I can successfully work around this error by logging in as administrator.
I would like to eliminate the error if possible.
Many Thanks,
Marv

Are you able to run the program as administrator? If not and you are using a limited user account then you have to have the file it is accessing be somwhere in the users profile, that is the only place Windows lets a limited user have full access.

Such as desktop, documents, appdata and so on.

Shane,
Yes, I can log on successfully and complete
my changes. The error box is gone.
Can I get rid the unhandled exception anyway?
Thanks,
herbs

That all depends on the program itself that is calling it. Depending on what the program is calling and needs access to, you might be stuck with having to run it as an administrator.

You can set it up to where certain programs run as a different user.

On some programs you can right click on them - select Properties and under the Compatibility tab check the box to Run this program as an administer.
