Errors with screenshot Chrome extension

Question

Downloaded Fireshot for IE from your your website today (just uninstalled the screenshot chrome extension after installing it from your download a week ago with same results as detailed below). I have Vista and IE 8 and am the administrator for the computer.
I downloaded the program successfully. When trying to capture either the page or area I got the following error message - Couldn't create settings file:C:\ProgramFiles\Fireshot for IE\fs_ie_settings.ini. Please check your permissions. This message appeared 8 times before showing me a dialgue box advertising Fireshot Pro. When I canceled that box I was shown the screenshot. However, I couldn't attach the screen shot to an email, just got the same error message again. I did seem to be able to copy the page to the clipboard and paste into en email. Help!

Accepted Answer

Did you check file permissions on C:\ProgramFiles\Fireshot for IE\fs_ie_settings.ini ?
