Message:
Vista and Win7 seem to have issue with where pcgen is installed, and the
access it needs.

First, change the permission of the folder where pcgen has been installed
to FULL Access
Right click on the folder - Properties 
Choose the Securities Tab
Choose Everyone
Click the EDIT Button
Check the Full Control Box.

Apply, Ok.

Step 2:
Use the pcgen.exe file 

For further troubleshooting tips, change the default location of the
preferences (aka pcgen.ini file) to the pcgen folder.

Other solutions:
Change the location of where you install PCGen. Seems the Program Files
section is more protected, if you install outside that location the issue
should go away.

For me, I have all the files outside the program files. 

Try those solutions and let me know if you have any further problems...
Setting this to pending, means if we don't hear back from you, this tracker
will automatically close.
