Application on Windows 7 disappears straight after starting, but still visible in “process list”
I'm trying to run FigTree on Windows 7.
I think it's a Java application, but I'm not positive about that.
I have successfully used it before on Windows 7, but now when I click the figtree.exe (or a shortcut to it) I get the usual "this is an application from the Internet are you sure you want to run it". I pick OK but nothing seems to happen. When I check on the Task Manager it doesn't show up in programs, but it does show up in processes, using zero CPU and about a MB of memory. If I try clicking the .exe again I get multiple copies of the process running.
In the course of fiddling with it I noticed that if I kill the javaw.exe process the figtree icon pops up and a message objects "an error occurred while starting the application: access is denied"

First off, right-click on the download, choosePropertiesandUnblockthe file, if you trust it. Then right-click on it and choose toRun as Administrator. This will eliminate security issues with it.

Looks like the application is trying to do something that requires administrative rights, but doesn't have those rights and so is stuck in a loop.
If you know what it is and trust it, run it as admin. (Right click, "Run as administrator")
