    Two programs that UAC don't allow to load

    Hello everybody,

    I use Vista 32 Ultimate and I have this problem during the startup of Windows:

    The UAC control stops 2 programs and I'm not able to let these programs load
    with
    UAC control active. Tried everything also in Windows defender but no success.
    I must always confirm and let run these programs clicking on the UAC block
    tray icon that appear during the load of these 2 programs.

    Someone tell me that these programs blocked by UAC must be updated from the
    developers to pass the UAC.

    It's true?

    Please let me know

    Thanks

    I don't know the answer to your question, but the first thing I do during
    the installation of VISTA for and 'single user' PC is to turn off UAC.

    If you share the computer, I don't recommend this.... but if you are the
    only user, turn it completely off.

    Re: Two programs that UAC don't allow to load

    Hi,

    Of course but that damned UAC control if not enabled don't let run some of
    my programs, when I launch these programs make errors and don't start.If UAC
    control is enabled the programs work well.

    Someone tell me also try to give administrator rights to these two programs
    "elevated"
    but I don't know the right procedure to do this.

    If someone knows please let me know.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    Right click the setup file, don't just double click it, choose "run as
    administrator" to install them.

    Re: Two programs that UAC don't allow to load

    Single user or not, UAC should not be disabled. UAC doesn't protect one user
    from another, it protects the system from the actions of any user. Programs
    that are not written for the Vista runtime environment should be installed
    (and sometimes run) using elevated privileges it they are hard-coded to
    write to system folders.

    Hi,

    Good news for this!
    I must uninstall the 2 programs, and then install them with "run as
    administrator"?

    Thank you

    Re: Two programs that UAC don't allow to load

    Hi,

    No, that won't help them avoid the prompts under normal runtime. You would
    need to obtain compatible versions of the program, or you can try the steps
    here:

    It'll be a while before I buy that, Rick. Experience tells me otherwise.

    From what actions? Protects "the system" from what? The owner !?!?

    You have me worried now, Rick... but I'm not certain that I understand why.

    I may be showing my ignorance here, but the first thing I turn off after installing
    a VISTA OS is the UAC. Since I don't keep it running full time personally, I have
    no first hand experience except for client feedback. I have yet to have a single
    issue arise from having done so, and many of them are installing software such
    as Office 2000 and other very old and even uncommon things... like Broderbund
    Greeting Card, Bicycle Card gamepack, and other games and software, some
    that barely proceed DOS. If it's on the compatibility lists, I've probably seen it....
    and I've seen plenty of software that isn't on most lists, run fine with no UAC
    on VISTA... often with no compatability mode preferences.

    About 6 months ago I went into a Church office environment of multiple VISTA
    PCs networked together that had all of the bogus trial software (some having
    been activated, some not, and varying from machine to machine) and the host
    of other BS that comes with most OEM "package" systems. The PCs had been
    running for several months in a variety of offices, with a variety of users and a
    variety of different software on each machine. I turned off UAC on all of them,
    individually, and not one person has uttered a single word about noticing
    *anything* different except for being thankful that those dumb-ass warning
    windows are gone. (This would be the reason your statement concerns me).
    I'm there, in the offices, 2 days a week.... not one utterance of any issues,
    but I certainly don't want there to be.

    Can you be more specific about what to keep a look out for?

    Well, I really like Vista but not until I turned UAC off. It is the most
    annoying, obtrusive and plain old dumb "feature" I've ever seen. The goal
    and concept of UAC is a good one, but the way that MS tried to accomplish it
    was terrible. It needs to get a whole lot "smarter" and work a whole more
    efficiently behind the scenes before I would ever consider using it again.

    Re: Two programs that UAC don't allow to load

    Hi David,

    It's all about malware. The number one source of user infections is malware
    installing itself sight unseen. This occurs because users tend to run
    themselves as administrators rather than as regular users (must be something
    about the human pysche that they just can't stand not having full control,
    even though it's not needed). Previous to Vista, malware could make use of
    this privilege level and install itself without the user's knowledge, then
    replicate and redistribute, and directly affect system and program folders
    by writing to and altering system files. Much of it is sophisticated enough
    to fool AV applications and block detection, rendering that type of real
    time protection useless for curing or blocking the problem.

    What UAC does is prevent these software bits from usurping this privilege
    level, forcing it to be acknowledged by the user before it can alter
    anything. In addition, with applications now being forced to run in the user
    environment (%username%\appdata) rather than the shared system environment
    (\%systemroot% or \Programs Files\program), any damage done by one user is
    restricted to only their logon. When UAC is disabled and applications are
    allowed to run with elevated privilege, it defeats this whole protection
    scheme. It isn't perfect, as users are still in the habit of just ok'ing
    everything that pops up when they install something, but it does force them
    to be more aware.
