| If you create it the way I told you it will open, unless you have
| permissions problems.

| Is there anything you haven't told us, such as services you may have turned
| off in trying to save resources, turning off UAC, altering permissions etc?

| (also earlier builds) and have never had a problem when doing it as
| explained above.
