Hi, I just installed XAMPP 1.8.1 on a new installation of Windows 7 with all the updates. Also installed the Visual Basic C++
When I start the control panel 3.1.0 I get the following startup errors

I am not very familiar with Windows (this installation is on a Mac where i run MAMP), but this installation is in a Windows boot volume (no virtualization).
Can someone tell me about the administration privileges, how to enable that, and also about the error messages.
Thanks so much for any help,
jim
