Right click it, then select: Run as administrator.

If that doesn't work then it is probably a corrupted install or something, try reinstalling it.

when i right click and goto run as admin... the same note comes up as in first post.... like i said when i log into admin account it runs at startup...but for some reason it won't run in standard user... and i have just tried deleting the standard user and creating it again but it didn't help... anyother suggestions? ... , thxs, shawn

Well I just installed WeatherEye and I too couldn't access it with a standard account, yet it ran fine on the admin account. Weird. Maybe you could try using the Vista Sidebar gadget instead?

For the record..I decided to install it and setup a standard account to test out the parental controls, and i'm impressed with the options and logs Vista gives you! Would be good in a work environment as well as the home.

Not a problem, glad you can view your weather safely again! haha. The sidebar has got some pretty nice gadgets out, I use a few of them.

Some programs that were orginally designed for XP don't work out as well on Vista. I had the same problem with Resident Evil 4 and Hitman: Blood Money. After installation, the icon didn't show an image and when I clicked it, it gave that same notice. Just try reinstalling it and you'll eventually get it running.

Or you could try using the Windows Sidebar gadget instead.
