Cannot Transfer ZBrush 3.1 or 3.5 to windows 7

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Cannot run any version of Zbrush on my new machine.

I ran the vcredist_x86 file and no difference. I also tried the Data Execution Prevention exclusion of the zbrush.exe that they mention in the troubleshoothelpfile. There was no difference. This is the error I get for 3.1

Licensing Error Unknown Return_Code
(False_AF_VK_Access_Denied)

Here is my ticket:
Ticket ID: LRP-836735

If I try to run 3.5 and hit alt over the icon after the trumpet sound it says I am out of disk space.
Just bizarre. After I try to run any version of zbrush I can only close it out by going to the task manager and ending the process.

My computer specs are:
Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 920 @2.67 GHz 2.67 GHx
12 gig of ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250

Any help would be hugely appreciated. I can’t even get to the activation screen. I have already deactivated my serial numbers from my old computer in anticipation of installing both versions on my new 64 bit.

You need to right-click on the ZBrush executable and choose “Properties” from the context menu. On the Compatibility tab at the bottom there is a check box to run the program as an administrator. Activate that option, click Apply, then close the window. You should now be able to run ZBrush.

You will need to do this separately for both 3.1 and 3.5. The setting is per-application.

Yes, that worked.
I completely forgot about the administrator requirements that Windows 7 has.
I never had a computer running Vista either so it slipped my mind.
Thanks!
