PHP as CGI not working

curts

New Pleskian
I have Plesk 8.2 for Windows (new install)
On a test site, I have PHP 4.4.7 support selected.
When I have "run as ISAPI extension" checked, the php files work properly.
When I uncheck run as ISAPI extension, refreshing/navigating to a php file brings up a dialog box "Connecting to <domainname>.com" asking for username and password.
I have a Plesk 8.1 for Windows server that php files work fine on as CGI/FastCGI.

I haven't been able to find the configuration difference yet.
It does the same thing when I select PHP Version 5.2.3 (run as ISAPI extension is required to allow php pages to be shown)

What am I missing?
Where should I look?
 
I found this:
http://kb.swsoft.com/en/2087
which is having to do with Plesk being installed in location where spaces are in name (c:\Program Files\SwSoft\plesk).
My server is x64 and plesk is located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\SWsoft\Plesk\
I tried suggested workaround, but PHP still does not work without "run as ISAPI Extension".
 
http://kb.swsoft.com/en/2087 had the workaround to add the following to disksecurity.xml.

<Entry AccounType="1" Account="Psacln" Path="C:\Program Files" AceFlags="ThisFolderAndSubfolders" AccessMask="FullAccess" EntryFlags="0x1"/>

<Entry AccounType="1" Account="Psacln" Path="C:\Program Files\Common" AceFlags="ThisFolderAndSubfolders" AccessMask="0x0080" EntryFlags="0x2"/>

I had previously tried this, but with a path of "C:\Program Files (86)" and it did not work.
When I added these two entries exactly as above, ran the Plesk Reconfigurator --> Check disk permissions, php files started working as expected.
