    Hello, I'm not sure if this is correct place to write but I have Windows 7 Home Prem. I use POCO e-mail and everytime I open POCO I get an "Error" from POCO e-mail that say's "could not write to the registry,make sure you are logged on as administrator ". Now under Users I am the Administrator.
    Should I go and write this to "other software" forum or POCO's?
    Thank You,
    Paul

    There are 2 levels of Administrator - normal and effectively elevated. If you right click on any executable or executable shortcut there is the option 'Run as Administrator'.

    Try that with POCO.

    PeteC, I clicked on "Start "/Programs/POCO Mail, right clicked and ran as Administrator. I'll see how that works. Thanks for your time Pete.

    I think its working, I don't see the Error as of now. I click "run as administrator" before launching POCO, yes?
