Never mind, I got it going! I was looking at other postings to see if anyone else had the same problem and I found a post by bjorn--and bjorn talked about the data execution prevention thingy, whatever it's called--so... I went and checked my settings for that on my own computer and my settings were messed up! So, I corrected the settings, restarted my comp and my TFP opens without any problems now!

Well, thanks anyway, sorry for wasting your time, tho'. lol. And thanks, bjorn, for that post, I'm glad I found that!
