[Win8] Arduino IDE must run as admin

Hi

I recently reinstalled Windows on my laptop (for speed reasons), and after downloading the arduino IDE (1.04) again and installing the USB com driver, it seems that from now on I can only run the IDE as asministrator. If I run it as normal user, it only loads the splash screen and then quits. Even the process itself quits.

When I run it as administrator, everything works perfect, serial communication, compiling, uploading etc. I searched on google, but it doesn't seem like anyone has had this problem before, or am I wrong?
It is kinda irritating to have to give permission every time I open the IDE, so it would be nice to have a sollution.
I already checked the 'always run as administartor' box, but then I still need to give it permission.

Thanks

Nope, doesn't work. I get exactly the same results. It installs perfectly, but when I open it only the splash screen shows up, then it quits.
Nice job on the software though

Uhm, strange. Run arduino.exe --l4j-debug as administrator (from an elevated cmd.exe for example) and post the log file that appears near the arduino.exe

I ran it as normal user (where it quits):

normal user:
CmdLine: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\arduino.exe --l4j-debug
WOW64: yes
Working dir: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino.
Bundled JRE: java
Check launcher: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\java\bin\javaw.exe (OK)
Add classpath: lib\pde.jar
Add classpath: lib\core.jar
Add classpath: lib\jna.jar
Add classpath: lib\ecj.jar
Add classpath: lib\RXTXcomm.jar

Args length: 170/32768 chars
Exit code: 259

and as admin, where it works fine

CmdLine: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\arduino.exe --l4j-debug
WOW64: yes
Working dir: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino.

I do not see any difference (yes I'm sure those are 2 differnt outputs), maybe I'm missing something?

Yes, it seems all ok. Can you do this final test: download process monitor, open it and start capturing. Open Arduino without admin privileges, wait until it fails, stop pmonitor capture.

Right click Exclude non related processes from the list and then check the result column for the events didn't finished with SUCCESS related with arduino. The problem for sure is in one of these events.

Send me the capture if you aren't able to find the cause.

Most of the processes were "SUCCES", some were "FILE NOT FOUND", and another some were "OVERFLOW".
What do you mean to send you the capture? It's a 5000 items long list :o

btw, I don't really found the 'non-related processes' exclude, so I clicked arduino.exe and did include 'arduino.exe', and it only showed those arduino.exe's from then on.
btw2, it somehow got my keyboard into qwerty (while it's standard in azerty), I had to reboot my pc to get it OK (that and arduino were the only programs running).
btw3, I start to think it might be something with my fresh windows installation somehow. I had to do 'run as admin' twice today to install stuff, otherwise I got errors

Just save the capture, File/Save

I didn't said "arduino.exe" because maybe there are more things producing the problems, java.exe for example. Non related = svchost.exe, browser processes, etc
