Was fooling around with all the different places I could think of (not that I know them all) to check out access rights: Control Panel/User Accounts, file/shortcut properties, etc. I forget where, but in one of the lists, my name didn't resolve right away...there was a strange string that after a moment resolved into my user name...I have no idea what that is or whether it is totally normal, but if PT3 is querying a list somewhere for the current account and there is any way to retry in like a half second if it fails, perhaps that would help?
Also, the admin rights message dialog box looks a lot nicer in Beta 3

. I'm really frustrated because this is the first program -- poker-related or otherwise -- that I've had any difficulty installing on this laptop over the last couple years...I'm sure there's something strange going on with my computer, I just don't know where to look. Thanks.
