GGXX#R Netplay does not work; ggxxnet_config.exe not launching

[Evolution169]

Everytime I try to open the ggxxnet_config.exe, it crashes.  The window doesn't even pop up.  I've tried all of the compatability mode options, running as the administrator, moving the folder to c:\, and setting the folder to write.  Nothing seems to work, and I haven't even seen this mentioned in any of my google searches.  It used to work on my old Vista laptop, but now it doesn't. 

 

My specs:

 

Win7 64

i5 3570k

GTX660

8gb DDR3

1tb HDD

 

The game is getting a Steam release in a few hours, so help is very much appreciated.

Ok I gave up on this.  I have no idea why I seem to be the only one with this problem, and i wasted hours using Microsoft's compatibility tool to no avail.  I've just decided to use my XP laptop to configure my online settings.
