You have to run the program in Administrator mode. You can set it to do so in the properties info for said program.
That's RPM to you!!

Or you might not need the program at all because Win7 optimizes TCP stuff automatically (unlike XP).

As ejs stated, TCP Optimiser is not needed in Win7 as the TCP stack is fully optimised automatically.
To avoid problems in general when installing programs in Win7, install to a different folder other than "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)". These two standard installation folders are heavily protected under Win7 by default.

I think turning off User Account Control (which I would not recommend) also stops you from having to use the "Run As Administrator" option.

Windows 7 also has a full featured Administrator account as did XP, W2000 and NT but in Win7 (and Vista) it is hidden and not activated by default. This link shows you how to access the Administrator account:
