Software issues???

[jam*her*some]

Hey all, I just got my e-Vic today, and dl/installed mvr 1.3. I'm on Windows 8 64bit. The problem is, even running as administrator, it keeps asking for special permission to make changes to my hard drive upon opening. I've run the troubleshooter and set it in compatibility mode.... nothing. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong??!! I'm fairly computer illiterate. Well, very illiterate. I'm having no issues getting the program to recognize the device, but the program is also not remembering my information at all. I have to start over every time I open the program. Banging my head on the wall right now, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Don't know if I can help, but I do remember reading somewhere (possibly the manual) that you need Windows 7 to be able to operate with your computer and the eVic.. Maybe Windows 8 is the problem? You would think that they would make it W8 compatible with the last firmware update

I just found that. Sigh. I guess I need to fire up the dinosaur with w7 on it.

Still works with 8, simply needs the okay from you. MVR is not a signed application.

I've installed MVR1.3 on a 32 and a 64 bit W8 Pro machine. I installed as administrator in compatibility mode for W7 and set to execute the same way. I've turned off UAC in my machines but that probably doesn't make any difference.
