Vista - Re: User Account Controls (Vista Home Premium)

This UAC has got to have one of the most idiotic implementations I have ever
seen on any system.

UAC as a basic idea is a good one, however, once a user has decided that a
program is acceptable to run, and has re-set (if necessary) the permissions
for a software package, UAC must allow the user to check something that tells
UAC that this program is allowed to run from that point forward without
further user intervention.

I have a software package specifically designed for the cottage vineyard
industry. This package will not currently run on Vista with UAC active. It
took me a while to discover why my software wouldn't run...UAC was my last
guess, and happened to finally be the right guess. The worst thing was, UAC
didn't pop up a warning, my software generated an AV. Trying to find an AV on
a test system is not an easy task when you are not a low-level/Assember
programmer.

I am begging MS to put into the UAC the option to ignore programs marked
safe by the user/administrator of a system.

Unless such an option is put into place soon, I will have no option but to
strongly recommend to my clients that they purchase only Windows XP machines.

Hi HGill,

Did you try to run the program in XP2 Compatibility Mode, or check "Run this program as an administrator"? Sometime this will allow a program to run properly when there is a problem. See this tutorial for how if needed.

Compatibility Mode
