You might try this. Be sure the Netgear program has Admin rights. I think
you can do that in the Compatibility tab of Properties.
Next, run gpedit.msc and hope you have the ability to edit group policies...
some Vista flavors don't. Navigate to Computer Config--Windows
Settings--Security Settings--Local Policies--Security Options. At the bottom
of the list you'll see the User Account Control list. Find the elevate for
Administrators and change its setting from Prompt to Elevate without prompt.
I assume you are in the administrators group or this won't help. If a
standard user, do the same in the line below the elevate admin line in the
UAC list. Hope that fixes your problem. And remember where these UAC
settings ar because that change often gets unchanged by Vista for no good
reason.
