Hi all,<br><br>I came across another Demeter startup issue that seems different from the mingw and perl conflicts previously discussed, and I&#39;m pretty stumped.<br><br>System: Demeter 0.9.10 on Windows 7 32bit<br><br>Issue: All 
Demeter apps 
(dathena.bat, dartemis.bat, etc.) will no longer run as a user.  Apps 
will only run when opened as an administrator.  Trying to open as a user
 causes cmd window and splash screen to pop up and instantly disappear.  No &quot;compatibility
 mode&quot; seems to help.  The problem seemed to pop up sometime between 
August 2 and August 8, after upgrading to 0.9.10, but I downgraded to 
0.9.0 and the problem persisted, so (likely) something changed in my 
Windows environment and not Bruce&#39;s software.<br><br>The log:<br><br>Can&#39;t load &#39;C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/<div id=":z1">auto/Ifeffit/Ifeffit.dll&#39; for module Ifeffit: load_file:Invalid access to memory location at C:/strawberry/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 200.<br>

</div><br>I exchanged a few Emails with Bruce before realizing this is a
 bit more complex than I thought.  We&#39;ve thus figured out (I think)<br><br>- Explicitly giving myself full permissions to C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/auto/Ifeffit/ and %APPDATA%/demeter has no effect.<br>-
 Although I have a cygwin version of perl, demeter is calling up the 
right one each time.  Invoking perl with the full path in e.g. dathena.bat has no effect.<br><br>I
 suspect the problem might not be in perl or any of Bruce&#39;s code, but in
 some behavior of ifeffit that was previously condoned by Windows but 
now requires elevated permissions.  I understand ifeffit is written in 
fortran90 but I don&#39;t know if there&#39;s any aspect of it that might be 
affected by recent MS Visual C++ updates I&#39;ve done on my laptop.  (MS 
Visual C++ 2008 x86 9.0.30729.17 and MS Visual C++ 2010 x86 10.0.30319).  I&#39;m pretty sure MSVC2008 coincides with the time Demeter stopped working but it could just be a coincidence.  There are also of course various security updates I can&#39;t easily sort through.<br>
<br>I
 was hoping Matt might be able to point me in the right direction here; I
 don&#39;t know the inner workings of IFEFFIT and I might be far off track 
already.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Jason<br>
