Windows 7 Problems

It's funny, YESTERDAY, just yesterday I was up and running without issues using the LATEST beta expandrive as well as Win 7 build 7000. then TODAY i got exactly the same error as you did Lloyd.. then, using Jeff's advice:

1. Uninstall ExpanDrive
2. Reboot
3. Install ExpanDrive - don't run expandrive upon completing installation
4. Run ExpanDrive

It let me install Expandrive, now it complains that it can't open the network location. Is there some other trick or is it just my wonky hardware? ( Delete or Edit)

Jeff is there something else I need to do to get expandrive functional? I just responded to Lloyd's message about his problem with the network location not being available. I tried your suggestion of re-downloading the latest epandrive, installed it, rebooted, tried running, same issue, can't find the network location. Is there a specific way one needs to have their network settings set in order for this proggie to work? The sad thing is it worked just great yesterday and now today it crapped out on me.

Jeff, that is correct, my user account is an administrator. No other accounts were set up on the machine as of yet. ( Delete or Edit)

Jeff, I believe I just solved it (and I forgot about this yesterday) I was playing around with user account control and apparently turned it off, and then sometime between my last usage of Expan Drive and now I turned UAC back on. Turning UAC OFF completely solves the problem for me and using Expan Drive.. I'm back in business!! ( Delete or Edit)

Hi Jeff.. I haven't had a chance to install 1.8.2 till today. I did, but it still failed to create a functional drive share with UAC at it's default settings. I turned UAC off again and it was fine. But then I thought about when you asked if me if my acct was set up as an Administrator so the next piece of info may be helpful to many users who MIGHT have an issue like mine; I reconfigured my user account to be just a standard user account (UAC is left on, in it's default setting) and now I can access the drive share. p.s. if you can't change your account to a Standard User in the User control panel, then you'll need to adjust it manually in Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups (look on the left hand side of the CM screen) -> Users -> (your user acct) -> double click your user, -> Member of -> click Add, -> then type Users in the box, press enter. I deleted the Administator group from the profile just to be sure nothing was conflicting, and then reboot the machine. Note this may just be my particular configuration, but it's worth a shot for anyone else dealing with a testy administrator setup. ( Delete or Edit)
