Ahhaaa!!!! After days on this and frustration after frustration, I found a fix! Running as administrator will not work. The java and the executable now works flawlessly!
It is a permissions issue, run
Tweaking.com - Windows Repair, and select the permissions fix. It will take you hours, depending on the size and quantity of files, but it will work!

Open the program, do the first few steps that it asks(
and backup the registry), then click on
"Repairs - Main", then on
"Presets: Permissions Only". Check if
"Reset Registry Permissions", "Reset File Permissions", and "Reset Services Permissions" are checked and then click
"Start Repairs".
Done!
