[Resolved] Startup Problems- PLEASE HELP (the official support won't)

[nem2201]

Yeah so after realizing that i would have to buy the RPG Maker XP program again (for my new computer) I immediately went onto the website and bought the program. so yes i do have a serial number for the program, BUT everytime i try and open RPG Maker XP it comes up with this message

so i've contacted "support" and they emailed me back and said to close any Anti-virus programs and make sure to allow the program to access the internet. So thats what i did. or thought i did. overall i disabled my antivirus program and I allowed the program access through my Windows Firewall... and the same message is still there. WHAT DO I DO?!??

NOTE: i am a computer novice by most of your standers so good instructions would help alot. Thanks!

Are you using windows Vista? If you're not set to administrator on your system, you might be getting problems from there.

Ok heres the easiest way by far that i posted 4-7 months ago, be warned though if you are a complete idiot this step may confuse you (lol i joke i joke) here it is :
Step 1: Rightclick the RMXP shortcut and click "Run as Administrator..."
Step 2:That's it 1 step over 28 any day...

And if that's too easy, or you just feel like doing it the hard way...

Lastly, I don't think you needed to buy it again, as far as I remember your origional serial number can be used up to 3 times so you can put it on 3 computers before having to buy it again (I could be wrong though.) I kept my RPGXP serial number written inside the book for my new computer, so that I'd always have it.

I don't have Vista, but logic dictates that you should be logged in as administrator (or a member of the administrator group) to have access to those settings.
