2012 first bugs

It's that time of year again.  Honors projects. Time to dust of PLL and start mak'n and fix'n.

Todays bugs....

1) Path error on Windows 7. This is due to absolute path's in the model files pointing to the Windows XP Program files directory (C:\Program Files\... etc), while on Windows 7 the default installation location is (C:\Program Files(x86)\...etc)

2) Path handling error in the movie tool within the experiment editor. This is due to the path being passed on the command line and not being enclosed in quotes correctly. Thus if the path contains a space, the command fails (this may accidentally write files in the wrong location... must check this)

3) If the model editor fails when trying to load a file, it fails silently and leaves the editor in an inconsistent state. It should fail loud.

4) Player will not autostart in windows 7. Ouch.
