We have received reports from Windows 7/Vista users stating that Cloud 9 will encounter a "Can't initialize the program" error.
This is caused by the security settings of Windows 7/Vista (the default role of user is not Administrator).
To solve this problem, you need to right click the Cloud 9 icon, then choose property, then set compatibility mode to XP and choose run as administrator.
