Okay, but I'm not really interested in copying over a previous Guide installation intact from another machine.  I'd just like to install from the installation disk on my Win7 box so that it works properly.

From this thread it seems I should either 1) install Guide in C:\ ( rather than C:\My Programs x86\ ), or 2) run it as Administrator each time I open it. 

Yes. Install to <driveletter>:\Guide<version>

That saves the bad security involved in running as Administrator, and SmallLimp's stupid path names containing spaces which break all sorts of things.
