GGDT runtime error 76

Whenever I try to configure the options on a previously saved file (doesn't happen on the default gun that comes up when you start the program), I get a runtime error 76.
It's really irritating and it never used to happen, but I don't know what changed to cause it. Any ideas?

Are you running Vista? If so, are you running it under an admin-enabled account? If not, that's your problem. GGDT requires it be run under an admin-enabled account. Why? I have no idea. There's nothing I'm doing that should require admin privs. Ask Microsoft WTF the deal is.

(and I just checked... looks like the email address I've got listed on the site is several years old)

Is there any text associated with the error (other than the error code itself)? Stuff like... "File XXX is missing." or somethign like that?

When in vista, are you guys just using an admin account, or are you actually right clicking on the EXE and hitting "Run as administrator" then clicking "continue" on the box that pops up?

grams
just stick with si units whenever possible. It makes life soooo much easier.
