RJW:
You will have to take "ownership" of the file before doing any operation.
These are some notes about taking ownership that I picked elsewhere on the
web.
"1) Open an elevated command prompt (right-click command prompt, click Run As
Administrator)
2) change the directory to the folder that contains the file that is having
problems (e.g. "cd windows.old\program files\program folder")
3) Type the following command and press enter:

icacls program.exe

Where program.exe is the program that won't run.

If you get an access denied error, execute this command, and then try again:

takeown /F program.exe /A


Executing these commands should give you access to the files:

cd f:\windows.old\program files

takeown /F . /A /R /D Y > NUL

icacls . /grant SystemCI)(OI)(IO)(F) /grant
AdministratorsCI)(OI)(IO)(F) /grant UsersCI)(OI)(IO)(RX) /grant
SystemF) /grant AdministratorsF) /grant UsersRX) /T /L /Q

This will allow you to get at the files inside those folders."

Best of luck.

No luck... Thanks for all the sugestions, good refresher... things I have not
done for some time as I am mostly on UNIX.

Talked to Logitech twice today... of course I needed to rehash ground I have
already been too on my own and with the help of this DG.

I will post a solution once I get one.

Thanks again.

Please let us know if that solution comes from Logitec as
opposed to users in the same boat as you.

I gave up on Logitec several years ago because I thought they
orphaned products almost as soon as they were out the door. If
their support has improved, I'm willing to give them another
try.

Logitech was of no help here... I ended up reinstalling Vista, then
everything worked that was not working before.
