| Guest | UAC turned itself back on? Long ago, I disabled UAC -- it's intrusive and, the way I use my machine, unnecessary. This morning, it suddenly made a reappearance. Though I installed some third-party software and hardware last night (OmniPage Pro 15 and a Visioneer Roadwarrior scanner), nothing should have effected system settings like UAC. Any idea why UAC decided to spontaneously assert itself? |

Sure, but it seems highly unlikely that OmniPro (an OCR program) would turn UAC on. > > > -- > Jon > > |

| Guest | Re: UAC turned itself back on? Highly unlikely doesn't equal zero probability. Check with OmniPro? Try an uninstall/ install cycle to check?

Check with OmniPro? Try an > uninstall/ install cycle to check? It's also possible that a stray gamma ray went through the CPU at just the right moment to flip a bit and turn on UAC. However, the probability is extremely low, as is the probability that an established OCR program that has nothing to do with system services would turn on UAC. Given the number of system related problems that are the result of Microsoft's short-sightedness in designing Vista, I will suspect the OS long before I suspect OmniPro. Ocam's razor. As for an install/uninstall cycle, I simply don't have the time to trouble shot this paticular bug, which is why I posted here -- I was curious if anyone else had experienced this. Evidently not. > > "PTravel" <ptravel@travelersvideo.com> wrote in message > news:eTe#bD4oHHA.668@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> >> "Jon" <Email_Address@SomewhereOrOther.com> wrote in message >> news:OnOU6S3oHHA.4188@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >>> >>> <ptravel@travelersvideo.com> wrote in message >>> news:1180464858.244020.199350@q66g2000hsg.googlegroups.com... >>>> On May 29, 11:01 am, "Michal Bucko" <saph...@hack.pl> wrote: >>>>> Actually, that's very interesting.
