| | Annoying UAC Warning I just built this PC, installed Vista and also MS Works 2001. I keep getting a flashing UAC warning in the task bar that WKUpdate.exe wants to access my computer. I can click allow or deny, and it keeps coming back, no option to add to trusted users. I am about ready to turn UAC off anyway. Any suggestions? Thanks. |

| | Re: Annoying UAC Warning Yes, my suggestion is DO NOT DISABLE UAC. Many posts relate to this subject and UAC is a security feature that is one of the best ways not to get spyware added to your system. If you turn it off you will lose a great feature for this type of security. It does seem to get in the way a little, be a little annoying etc. But the alternative is much worse. But this is IMHO only. Dan "MrKite" <MrKite@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B9C325AC-555F-421C-8ED8-C721A4F54A58@xxxxxx Quote: >I just built this PC, installed Vista and also MS Works 2001.

I would try checking the "Run as administrator" option first. This tutorial will show you how to if needed. Compatibility Mode Shawn |

| | Re: Annoying UAC Warning You are right, I get stuck in the past sometimes and expect everything to function as though nothing had changed. It may be time to put the dinosaur out to pasture and try Open Office.
