    Solved several Problems ... User Account Control

    Hey Guys,
    I was able to solve several problems that I have figured out so far…
    Turning off UAC solved all of my Tivo problems and also solved Quicken
    saving my info on a second hard drive. I’m hoping this may solve other
    problems… well see, this is all I have time for right now.
    Hopefully it will help some of you.

    Turn off UAC .... the 4 color shield on your icons….(if the program is
    running under admin)
    That shield represents that the program, Control Panel item, or setting is
    under the control of User Account Control, or UAC for short.
    I get the red shield telling me I’m not using recommended setting… but my
    stuff works.
