On windows as a service web portal asking for password again

Hi,
I'm running Sabnzbd as a service on windows and when I log into it with a browser (have tried firefox/ie/chrome) it asks me for a the username/password about 5 times (even though I selected to save the password).
And on each refresh, every few seconds, it asks me for the password again and again...
Any ideas?

Do you forbid cookies in your browser?

Rebooted? (Have to ask, it's Windows isn't it...)

yeah, several times since installed.
I've been using it for like 6 months, I just need to continue putting the username and password.
It also happens when I access it remotely from outside the intranet (not sure if it matters...)

Have you tried an alternative browser?

Thanks for trying to help, but I just found the solution...
Run as administrator...
Maybe it can be added to a troubleshooting

Do you now need to run the browser as administrator or SABnzbd?

Had to mark Sabnzbd as run as administrator
Maybe add this to the FAQ or Troubleshooting??

It should not be necessary to run SABnzbd as admin when running it as a service,
at least as long as you set proper access rights for all places that SABnzbd needs to access.

I have this same problem.
Only noticed it a couple weeks ago.
SAB had been running fine for 6 months+ beforehand so I can only assume it was a update which caused the problem.
I currently have it installed on a WHS 2011 box and it is configured to start-up via task scheduler as this was much easier than installing as a service.
How did you make it run as admin did you right click the .exe and select it that way?
Cheers

OK did some testing, when I use IE there is no problem but in Chrome it asks for authentication repeatedly on every action I take and sometimes two or three times per action.
I'm running 0.7.3
Just set SAB to run as admin and there is no change
Is there some way I can submit logs?

Sorry for hijacking this thread I have stared my own over here
