<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">Windows 2000, Windows XP, and presumably any subsequent version of Windows requires "administrator" privileges to access logical and physical devices directly. This is required because the direct block access bypasses normal file access control mechanisms. You either need to log in as an administrator to use the device-access features of CiderPress, or upgrade the privilege level of your non-administrator account.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">Most Win2K/XP users are set up with administrator access, but some may not be. CiderPress will tell you if devices are failing to open because of access permissions. To gain administrator access, you have to start by having administrator access to the machine. Yes, this is a bit of a chicken and egg problem, but there's no way around it. If you don't know how to log in as administrator, ask the person who set up your computer.</FONT></P>
