    Can't Run Spotify; Windows 7 64 bit
    « on: February 12, 2014, 12:31:48 AM »
    Hi

    I downloaded Spotify yesterday and have had problems from the start. I was finally able to install it, but only in safe mode. Now when I try to open it (or Open as administrator) I get a message "This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator."

    This is my private Dell Inspiron laptop. I'm not part of a domain and, as far as I'm aware, the only system administrator is ME.

    Any ideas out there????

    Have you contacted the Spotify vendor to see if they have any solutions for this? I have played music through the web but have not purchased the subscription yet. I have been able to play music with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit at their website with no problems such as the group Amaranthe.

    Only drawback to no subscription is that I get the occasional commercial on like every 3rd song played and dont have access to everything but a smaller selection of music.

    A google search shows lots of info on this specific issue. Have you checked into those hits on this group policy problem?
