    No problem here, might check your account to be sure the admin rights didn't get removed. ;)
    Also did you tried installing one program or multiple?

    Well I tried to install a MSI installation but it woudn't allow me to.... so I fould lets run as admin, wasn't possible? So tried installing a game, same error (no admin rights, coudn't write bla bla bla) after right click run as admin I could install the game.

    And this was no problem in the beginnen and after some time it changed. It happend to me with every version of WIN8. And yes I use it on my daily system

    my android phone says there 5 updates but there was only 2.......

    anyway

    dont know if it could be classified as a bug but....


    I have a game folder that has a corrupted file in it that keeps me from copying it.

    in windows 7 the system will stop responding when it get to the file that is corrupted and then I click close and explorer comes up with windows explorer stopped responding and has restarted

    in windows 8, I hit the close button and the box goes away, but when I went to copy a different file, it also pop up with the other box still trying to copy the file. I had to manually close windows explorer...

    OK W7 is Software for GA and is expected to react as you described but W8 still is beta and you must face this as a fact. Try this later this month with RTM and you definitely will find other behavior.

    Have you installed it?
    What difference do you see between FRE and CHK builds?

    Wow, IMHO they must've misused it somehow, or the Windows installation had more serious issues going on as well. I've only had to use Unlocker a handful of times but at the worst for me it just didn't do what I had needed it to do, although all my most recent uses of it did the job perfectly. No offense, that's just what I think and was my experience.

    I know unlocker since its existence and had no issue at my machines including W7. No experience with it on W8 myself but as said, a friend was caught in the act on a normal basis, nothing special. No tweaking etc. new install was needed
