That’s a great suggestion! Unfortunately, I already tried disabling both my antivirus and firewall, but the issue persisted. I even attempted to run the files on my wife’s laptop, which is running Windows 7, and encountered the same problem. I had previously tried running the program as an administrator as well.
Below are the operating system details as requested. However, since the issue occurs on a different computer with a different OS, I suspect it’s not related to my specific system.
