Bug Report Some of My games won't stream

when I first used this software, I loved it. It was easy to use and did its job well. I used it to stream Guild Wars 2. but now, it won't let me stream, it says I need administrator permission. Even though I am an administrator it says so under my computer profile, and it still won't let me stream. Here's what it says exactly:

These applications require administrator access to capture (start OBS as administrator to capture):
Guild Wars 2


It also might be worthy to mention that it wont let me update the software. It stops, the bar turns red and gives me this error message:
Error opening file for writing

C:\Program Files
(x86)\OBS\plugins\GraphicsCapture\GraphicsCaptureHook64.dll

Click Abort to stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip this file.

It would be well appreciated if you could help me work this out. Thank-You

So you didn't try running OBS as admin? Right click on the shortcut and select Run As Administrator.

The "Error opening file for writing" message will appear if some part of the program is still in use, in this case the graphics capture hook. Reboot and then update prior to doing anything else.

Haha, I guess I misunderstood what they meant by run as an admin.
Thank-You very much, I appreciate your help :)
