OK, I followed Mark's instructions (thank you) and got no results - because I guess as we're starting to speculate its not an access permission problem unfortunately.

So I uninstalled HW, cleared out any directories of data etc and reinstalled it. I did the reinstall from an Administrator account and the only change I made was to make sure that the programs and anything else (apart from the Windows file) was installed in "C:\Data\Heavyweather" - no spaces. Then I did a Process Monitor trace of the start up but specified a filer of path id = "C:\Data\Heavyweather" without quotes of course. The result is the attached 4-page PDF file - I exported it as csv and then hid the path column since it only shows the filtered path (which should be the only one used) to make it a bit more readable. I cannot see a problem here, but maybe someone has a start up trace from a working system to compare it with and can spot a difference?

I also took another trace (unfortunately this one is 73 pages long!) which was with a filter of Process Name = Heavy Weather.exe, including the space and hid the process name column. This has two timestamp discontinuities - the first is at the point where I got the more or less standard Win7 permission escalation prompt, and the second is at the point when the message about the error came up. Again I'm not sure I can see anything too untoward here, but maybe someone with a better idea of what they are looking for could help?

My thanks to those of you who are prepared to look at the data.
