Lost Vista permission on program I installed?

[Guest Slothmaster]

I've installed a program (winampServer) and used it with no problems a few

times then I tried to set up a home network and changed too many settings to

remember Now when I try to access this program it tells me "Windows cannot

access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate

permissions to access the item."

I've checked hundreds of help pages online and tried to gain full controll

to the folder (which I can access fine just not run the .exe), gained

ownership (which I already had) and screamed at my laptop (which

frustratingly didnt work either).

Out of desperation i reinstalled the program and it worked fine until I

restarted my laptop a few days later. Please help, I REALLY don't want to

have to re-install this everytime i re-boot!

Uninstall then reinstall by right clicking and choosing Run As

Administrator.
