Thanks for posting your question here and welcome to the Forum P2!
Can you please let me know more information about the issue you are having? What exactly are you trying to achieve?
Does this issue persist on another browser other than the one you normally use ( such as Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Safari to name a few) ?
Bear in mind that a screenshot of the error/problem you are seeing is always helpful, so if possible, attach one in your reply so we can have a visual of what you described as well.
Thank you in advance for your response!

his happens everytime i run the setup, regardless of whether running from harddrive or usb stick.
