I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium.  I have 
absolutely no problem running GNUcash 2.4.8 in either administrative or 
non administrative mode.  Actually, I am mostly in non administrative 
mode when I run any program, including GNUcash.  What I would do is: 1. 
redownload GNUcash from the home web site.  2. Backup (Copy) your 
GNUcash financial records to another location.  3. Uninstall GNUcash 
2.4.8.  4.  Run CCleaner  to cleanup any stray registry entries for 
GNUcash.  5.  Reboot.  6.  Disconnect from Internet.   7. Turn  off 
anti-virus scanners, (any other nonessential program running in the 
background),  etc.  8. Install your newly downloaded GNUcash.
