Vista - Task manager

I am unable to run an info gathering tool to send to my Anti-virus software
vendor. Is there any way that I can capture the info in task manager, save to
a folder and send it to them?

If this is a tool that was provided by the anti-virus vendor, they should
have instructions for running it? We have no information on the tool, which
areas of the OS it is trying to access or what data it is collecting?

Their tool "stops responding" when I try to run it under Vista. Even in safe
mode. They are trying to collect their product info; processes and services;
events; hardware and software installed. I am dealing with their tech
support, but they can't seem to be able to figure out. I know that this is
their problem, but I'm trying to do anything that will help.

Hi,

Right click the tool, use 'run as administrator'. See if this helps.

Rick

That program is trying to access restricted areas in Vista. If the program
does not ask you for administrator privileges, then it is not compatible
with Vista.

Take Rick Rogers advice and force the program to run as administrator. If
this works, then you need to tell the developers of that program to make it
compatible with Vista.

It still wouldn't work, even when forced to run as administrator. This is the
error message that I receive:

I tried running it in safe mode with the same result.
