Hi all.
I did this and have no problems saving and am not always asked to register :
Right-click on your EA shortcut and choose properties.
Choose the 'Compatibility' tab.
Tick the box to run it as compatible with Windows XP SP3.
Tick the box near the bottom to run as administrator.
Hope this helps.

Hi
I think the Run As Administrator option fixes the errors, as it allows registry access to the 'all users' registry hive. However it give a UAC prompt (if you have this enabled) every time you start it. Thanks for pointing it out though. I tried compatibility mode, this on it's own didn't make any difference.
I've fixed the problems, but just need to find time to finish a few other things before releasing the next version - should be out soon.

Thanks Deepcut. Found another problem last night - the print setup dialog box won't open. Have fixed this for upcoming new version. Just need to find the time to get the rest of it finished.
If anyone finds any other problems with the current version, post them here and I'll make sure they are fixed in the next version.
