I get an error when attempting to start Impulse:
Impulse was not able to create its temporary directories. Please try again, permitting administrator access when requested.
Help...
Thanks!

I believe Impulse is respectful of the original OS environment into which it was originally installed. When I installed Impulse for example, I had my McAfee VirusScan On-Access Scan enabled at the time... if I turn it off, which I always do before I game, Impulse comes back with precisely that same error.
If I re-enable it, Impulse runs no problem.
There are many antivirus packages that monitor MyDocuments and don't allow writes to those files. I would disable the software for install then go into the settings once Impulse is installed to allow for the service to be running. Please note this can sometimes apply to SpyWare as well so better safe than sorry.
Try running this:

This should fix any permissions issues for any Stardock apps.
