Uac

no matter how many times I untick the uac in users, every time I reboot my computer it as "reinstated" itself and if I wish to run certain programmes, like DragonDictate, I cannot run them in "elevated mode" and therefore I have to once again untick the uac and restart the computer. Everyone else seems to have no problem with this. From what I can understand it works "permanently" for most users. I thought that installing the service Pack 1 would rectify this problem for me. However, that is not to be
is there any way at all to permanently remove UAC?

It is driving me crazy

Re: Uac

I don't blame you. I searched on you problem and found nothing. Are you running as Administrator? If not, then try doing so, and see if you can keep the sucker from "ticking" you off.

Re: Uac

thank you for your response. I am running as administrator and I'm the only one using the computer anyhow. Maybe, one-day soon it will rectify itself :-)

Your are very welcome. There are a few things you can try: repairing startup and using a registry cleaner (e.g., CCleaner). Be sure and backup your registry or make a restore point right before you use the cleaner. 99% of all registry cleanings go fine, but I would have my data backed up too. If these steps fail, then you could do a repair install of Vista if you have one of the needed types of Vista DVD. There is a great repair install tutorial on this site. Check it out if you have to go this far. No guarantees, of course. Best.

Re: Uac

Hi Julsie,

If all else fails, you can activate the built-in Administrator account and not have to worry about UAC at all. This will show you how.

Running in this mode is not a great idea for frequently used programs. Right?
