Stumped

I'm not sure if you mean you have Windows Vista or Windows 8.1.

In any case, I just recently installed Windows 7 on my machine, and had trouble with two programs that were required to work together. It seems that one could not access files in the folder of the other. ......long story short, I came to reinstall them in a folder outside the Program Files (x86) folder that was the default. I would try this, if you haven't done so already.

I tried to reset the permissions on the involved folders before doing the re-installation, but for whatever reason this didn't work. Windows Vista and 7 both seem to have issues with folders being "read only". I don't know about Windows 8.
