try run the application "rus as admin"
instructions ->
by default, the service that is required to run the run as command is started automatically when you install windows. however, the service can be disabled by an administrator. if the service is disabled, you can enable the service again. to do this, follow these steps: 1.log on to the computer as administrator, or log on as a user who has administrative permissions.
2.right-click the my computer icon, and then click manage.
3.in computer management, expand the services and applications node, and then click services.
4.perform one of the following steps, depending on which operating system that you have:◦windows 2000: in the details pane, right-click the runas service, and then click properties.
◦windows xp: in the details pane, right-click the secondary logon service, and then click properties.

5.in the properties dialog box, set startup type to automatic, and then click start.
6.after the computer starts the service, click ok to close the properties dialog box, and then close computer management.
the service that is required to run the run as command is now running on your computer

another thing you can try is:
select the file -> properties->compatibility->check box "run this program in compatibility mode for windows xp(service pack 3)
*afther you install service pack 3 ofc, or having it already.
