Can't create profile X5 & Windows 8

[vs95]

Hello,

I upgraded my computer to Windows 8 from Windows XP with a clean install. I've installed VS X5 & SP1 on it. I now find I can't create a custom profile either by copying an existing one or building a new one from scratch. I think Windows 8 is protecting something but not sure. Here's my situation:

Make Movie Template Manager
New
select Windows Media Video for file type and enter a name
Select Profile tab
Click Customize button on bottom
Now in Manage Profiles
select a profile then click copy
error message "The profile could not be saved. Restart the encoder and try again"

Try to create new profile
upon saving error "Access is denied 0x80070005" then click ok
then "An error has occured. If the error continues, consider reloading the session file, starting a new session, or restarting the encoder."

Maybe this also happens on Windows 7 but I don't have that. This works fine on Windows XP.
Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Hi

This has been raised before using Windows 7, I think W7 maybe Vista?

And you are correct it is the Windows Media folder/files “permissions” that need changing on the PC, not a Video Studio problem.
It has been a while since this was mentioned but I will do a search of the forum to try and find the details.

Just found these details

I have no idea how you set permissions using W8

FANTASTIC!!!!!

That was it. I spent hours searching for this. The Windows Media Components folder needs rights granted for users. Here's an update picture for anyone else having this problem. Folders are a bit different in Windows 8 64 bit. Thanks!!
