Sounds like a permissions problem.  PM adds its activation file to:
<boot drive letter, usually C>:\ProgramData\Camera Bits, Inc\Photo Mechanic\

PM writes its preferences to:
<your user directory>\AppData\Roaming\Camera Bits, Inc\Photo Mechanic\

If either of those locations (or any of the folders along the path) cannot be written to or created, then PM won't be able to operate properly.  Please check your permissions.

HTH,
