Please help me. I want to try out MCell's features, especially Larger Than Life, Margolus, and Special Rules.

On my Win7 system I run MCell in compatability mode (specifically Win XP SP3). I tried running natively again and it works now, so I can't confirm if I had the same error, but I remember something about the registry causing the problem. May be there's something MCell does the first time it runs which causes the problem.

Oh I found the solution! Just run with administrator mode!
