Hi Joshua,

don't know about scan localhost. i read something about it, but i'm not 
sure if the following informations are right.
I (thought) i read something that MS disallowed this with an patch, but 
there was another patch which allowed it again)
make sure you have the latest updates. Though. I dont know really, if 
this is true!

For the admin thing:
The options -sS uses rawsocket. And, to create rawsocket under windows 
you need administrator privileges.
Therefor you can run nmap like this:   runas administrator nmap [options]
