Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: GetTokenInformation failed

[asgeo1]

I installed "GitHub for Windows" on my Windows XP VM, as well as on the some other Windows XP machines.

Each one has the same issue. GitPad crashes when invoked - e.g. git commit

C:\Documents and Settings\Adam\My Documents\GitHub\arms [master +1 ~0 -0 !]> git commit --amend

Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: GetTokenInformation failed
   at Gitpad.Program.IsProcessElevated()
   at Gitpad.Program.Main(String[] args)
error: There was a problem with the editor 'gitpad'.
Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.

The same thing happens if I download the latest GitPad.exe and try to install it.

What could be wrong?

I'm having the same problem with same scenario and "git commit -a --amend" command. Is there a fix or a workaround for this problem?

EDIT

I've found the workaround. The exception is thrown because no message was sent with the command.
If you use 'git commit -a --amend -m "your message here"' last commit will be fixed nice and easy but the commit message will be changed.

Hm. I wonder why we haven't heard about this until now.

May be it's related to the latest version of github for windows application. I'm not sure.

@ayca Is your computer managed in a corporate environment? Do you run as a Standard User?

Yes, I'm using windows server 2003 for business purposes. I have administrator rights. So far I didn't experience any other problems with gitpad.
