 I am using AWM under Windows 7 64bit. Whenever a program is started with admin rights (option checked in shortcut properties), I can not get AWM to work with that program. It does not matter, what options are used under the "Target Window" section and can be reproduced with any program. Any idea how to resolve that issue, or is it a bug ?

Just wanted to add, that AWM indeed works, when unchecking the admin rights option in the shortcut.

 Maess, this is not a bug. This is how the system security works in Vista/Seven - a lower-privileged application cannot watch for an higher-privileged one.

To make AWM work with application started as admin, you 'll need to start AWM itself with admin's rights. In this case, AWM will correctly work with both admin, and low-privileged applications.
The only limitation is AWM cannot be auto-started with admin rights (i.e. with help of "Load at startup" option). You'll need to manually start AWM either with Run as admin, or by enabling Run as admin in Compatibility options of AWM's shortcut.
