Well, that's interesting

It appears if you are running the windows calculator with administrative privileges you also need to identify the start directory, which is:
C:\Windows\System32\

so just add
C:\Windows\System32\
into the start directory field on your push2run card and you should be fine.

This is not needed but doesn't hurt, when running the program with normal privileges.

I'm having a problem getting anything other than the calculator command to run. Everything kicks back the "action was run but it appears to failed' response. I copied one of the directly from the push2run site, still with no luck

You can try running these cards without admin privileges and I suspect they will work.

To run with administrative privilege you will not be able to rely on Windows to match the default program to open or run command which you have currently included in the 'Open' field. For example with the youtube card, in the 'Open' field specify your browser by its full path and filename and in the 'Parameters' field put in the url (the text you currently have in the 'Open' field.

This is as described in the posts above.
