| Guest | UAC User Account Control About ten days ago I first noticed a change in my computers performance. When I started to play Zuma.exe I had to click "allow" in order to run it. That was just a nuisance but when Disk Cleanup required it also that was too much. I tried to delete Windows Defender (I have a working version of Bit Defender) I was denied. HELP! |

There is a utility TweakUAC (google it) which will give more options apparently. I havent tried it yet but was given the information on this group. |

| Guest | Re: UAC User Account Control Thanks, Spikey. The file Tweakuac worked fine on Disk Cleanup. On Zuma I now have to right click on the file, click on properties and click "run as adm..." I dont believe the problem is with the Zuma file. I ran it almost daily for 18 months on this same computer with Vista Home Basic and never had a bit of trouble.

| Member | Re: UAC User Account Control A better method to 'fix' UAC is to go to Start, Run, in the run box, type secpol.msc In the next window, select the security tab, and go dow to the User Access Control stuff. One of them says ask permission or somesuch thing. Select it and change it to 'Automatically elevate permission' Piece of cake |
