ZRatings v3.2 released
zybex:
After further investigation, it seems this is a security feature in Windows - it does NOT allow a non-elevated application to talk to an elevated app, or vice versa (when using OLE APIs as ZRatings does). They need to have the same security elevation status to be able to talk to each other - you either run both as Admin, or both as non-Admin. So this is a feature, not a bug.
What I do think is a bug, is that when UAC is disabled Windows seems to remember when an app tries to talk with mismatched elevation level, and then it will NOT work at all until both apps are restarted, regardless of the elevation status on further retries. This should not happen. I have no way of fixing this, looks like a Windows bug. So the only workaround is to restart both ZRatings and MC, as I mentioned on the previous post.

To me it works only if I restart the pc, and only for once.
I tried to run them both as administrator and both normal.
zybex:
Please make sure the shortcuts for both MC and ZRatings do NOT have the "run as administrator" option set (there are multiple places to set/unset that, check here)
Once you run them with mismatched settings and it fails, it will only work again after restarting them both (including tray icon).
Other than that, as I explained above I won't be able to fix this, as it's a Windows security feature/bug.
lello:
Thank you for the link.
I have both set "run as administrator" but have not solved the problem.
zybex:
You should unset for both MC and JRiver, then reboot.
You can use Task Manager to make sure both of them are NOT running in elevated state - open Task Manger in the details view, right-click on the "Status" column header and add the "Elevated" column. Perhaps your MC is always starting Elevated right after reboot.
