i know im probably becoming a pain in the ass but im trying to give you all revelant info to save time like.
The actual p4mx4 error goes like this
windows cannot find 'c:\windows\system32\p4mx4.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. to search for a file, click the start button and then click search.

i clicked ok on the error box to be presented with this unsightly error box

could not load or run 'c:\windows\system32\p4mx4.exe' specified in the registry. make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the registry

i looked forward to a reply
