Well to begin things off here is a link on disabling UAC in 7. Just the first link I found in Google but it works.

Also did you get the new drop in executable from here?

Were you able to get to the config portion of the setup?

Did you run the executable from the command prompt or from the desktop?

Don't bother with Windows SMP slowness, try this.
Here's OCN's thread on it.

If you're hell bent on running the Win client I'm sure we can figure it out but what MadCat posted is a whole lot easier to set up and get running.

As far as setting it up the directions on the Stanford site say run it from the command prompt and running config only at first. Specifically {executable name} -configonly -smp to begin with. And with the Win client I don't think you have to specify the number of cores for the smp flag.
