I have a user w/ a new vista laptop that crashed last week…
Started doing all sorts of funky things… anytime she tries to open any office app, she gets Microsoft Outlook has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application . This goes for word, excel, etc (running Office 2007) and even the adobe CS3 apps.
The windows sidebar also doesn’t run and says “settings.ini is being used by another process”. I can rt click on it and run as an administrator and works, but not at initial startup.
I did some searching online and couldn’t come up with much except that if I turn off the UAC feature in vista and restart, everything works fine. All the applications load up and run as normal, but I also read that this isn’t a good idea to keep on as all sorts of malware can install itself and screw up the machine.
Any ideas on how i can get her to run all apps w/out turning of teh UAC feature?
