What happens when you go into the Icon Packager directory, right click on Icon Explorer > Run as Admin. Then do the activation normally through that box?Edit addon: If that doesn't do the trick can you run through a manual activation process then send me the long activation string so I can try it from this end manually? You can just PM them to me here.If you haven't already seen this here are the online instructions:https://www.stardock.helpserve.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=447&ratingconfirm=1
I'm not sure who you're talking to now, but my xp account has admin privileges (oldstyle), so it naturally won't make any difference (I've also checked the privileges for the assorted folders, just to make sure).
After trying the normal activation (which normally should be automatic in SDC btw) many times I'm sceptical to IP4 in general (it can't be any good when even the activation won't work),
so I think I'll wait until the issue itself is corrected before retrying.
The "backup drive, test IP4 activation, restore drive" procedure is rather timeconsuming,
but the only reliable way to test after I got burned (i.e activation not working etc) the
first time around (I already have 3.99 installed, and I wont have IP4 wreck havoc on it before IP4 works).
I use WXP Pro SP3 + IE7.
