Won't register on Vista 64

Hi: Latest Atlantis installs OK on Vista 64 and accepts my registration key but each time I restart Atlantis it shows unregistered. I'm running as administrator. Is there something I may have missed? Thanks. John

Please right-click the executable file of Atlantis (C:\Program Files\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe) in Windows Explorer, and try running it as administrator. Did it help?

No, didn't help. I was already running as administrator. When I run the Atlantis executable I get, "Cannot Open C:\Program Files(x86)\Atlantis\Atlantis.ini"

Something seems to be wrong with the way in which you launch Atlantis Word Processor. When you launch it in the standard way (without command-line switches), Atlantis does not try to open any INI file.

Anyway in order to access the "admin features" under Windows Vista, it is not sufficient to be running as administrator. Windows Vista treats you as a "standard user" most of the time. Only when you try access the "admin features", Windows Vista might suggest "elevation". So are you sure that you used the "Run as administrator..." command from the right-click menu?

Even when you are working as administrator, you still need to run the program as administrator.
