| | I had problems with Maxthon browser. I decided to re-install after removing Maxthon. Naturally I hit a major barrier. Frst I got this error message: Error opening file for writing:
C:\Users\Charles Booker\AppData\Roaming\Maxton\Maxthon.exe I tried to directly remove "Mathon" and Maxthon.exe" from the AppData sub folder. Vista Home Premium prevented it even though I was Administrator. I used Regedit to remove all Maxthon associated entrys. Still got the error message when I tried to reinstall. I even tried to install Maxthon under a newly created user - still got the same message. I tried changing permissions, access denied by Vista. I tried to claim owner - Vista denied permission. Needless to say this is frustrating and infuriating. Did I pay Microsoft for an OS which basically tells me to get lost? Charles B. |

Did you unhide the "real" Administrator account and use that. I'm guessing you did NOT. So, you were not the Administrator; you were just a general user with some admin rights.

Then complain to the Maxton folks -- it's their app that won't cooperate.
And next time, try reading the forum titles and posting in the correct forum. This forum is for downloading Vista-related products -- not for technical questions.
