user account control

I've just installed Windows 7 x64 Home Premium and it's a nightmare thanks to UAC. Things have finally come to a head now I've tried to delete a folder in Windows.Old only to be told I require permission from administrators. Things is, I'm the only user of this machine. I AM the administrator...

Hello, So I have decided to test out Windows 7 and have downloaded the 64 bit RC version and done the updates. Problem I am having is with the pop up that precedes starting some legacy 32 bit application like CPUZ etc. User Account Control Publisher Unknown So I see that I can turn...

I can not believe that Microsoft has managed to mess this up again! I have never been so annoyed with an OS in my life! I did a clean install of windows to a brand new drive on my pc. I have about 7 other drives hooked up to this thing, that all worked fine when I was running XP. Install...

Hello there! For some reason after upgraing my W7 RC to W7 Trial (i understand i'm not supposed to do that but the problem is interesting nevertheless) i got strange error: I can't elevate shortcuts. At all. If i right-click on a shortcut and select 'run as administrator' - nothing happens. If...

Hi everyone, ------------------------------------------------------ Edit: by the way it's my first time posting on these forums, so hello everyone, nice to meet you. Hopefully someday I can be on the other side of the support role for this OS ;). Thank-you in advance for reading my post and...

Tjaa! Jag har köpt mig en dator med Windows 7 (såklart, annars hade jag vart på ett annat forum..) och jag har en del program och spel på min externa hårddisk jag som ska föra över. Och allt går bra fram tills det kommer till exe filerna, då står det: Du måste ha behörighet...

For reasons I won't bore you with, I need to make the file C:\Windows\Fonts\msgothic.ttc unavailable for a while, so I want to temporarily rename it to msgothic.ttc.old. Anybody who's tried to rename an installed font file in Win7 could probably guess what happened: Then I discovered the...

I have this computer since October '09 working with Vista. Right before christmas I updated to W7 Famillial Premium and problems started. First, sometimes after I wake up the comp from hibernation mode, I have no sound. If I restart it, the sound will come back. Also, it looks like it happends...

Hi all, Been using Win7 since beta. However, i just now installed it at work and this is the first time i'm using win7 joined to a domain. I assuming being joined to a domain is what's causing the problem. The problem being that each time the UAC prompt comes up, i dont just get a yes/no...

I use a backkup program in which I have setup a schedule to start every 7 days or at startup if not done. The problem is it does not work if the computer is unatended due to the User Account Control poping up to ask if you want to allow the program to make changes. Is there any way this can be...

Hey all, Sorry I'm new to the forum, hopefully this is the right place to put this. I've just upgraded my Dell XPS 420 to windows 7-32bit Home Premium from vista and now any time I try and install a program from the internet (even things like iTunes or Firefox) I'm running into problems...

I run 2 computers on a network both using Windows 7, I am the only user of both computers. When I tried to uninstall a program on the second computer I received the message: That I have to be an Administrator to uninstall it. I had this message before when trying to use Notebook to change a...

I recently tried to run a game with some mods after installing window 7 x64.. but it keeps crashing.. at first i thought it was just because the mods aren't compatible than i tried running a trainer.. again the game crashes the second i input a command from the trainer example: hit F7 for...

Hi everyone! I have a problem that’s making me want to pull my hair out, sorry if there is already a topic on this as the search function on this site would not work (database error) and Google returned nothing specific. I recently got a new PC with Windows 7, which is turning out to be a bit...

Well ill be honest, im not the most tech savvy person around so bare with me. Ill keept it simple, i just bought windows 7 home premium, downloaded it from microsofts website. Everything seems to be working fine EXCEPT the fact that the only internet application that is being allowed to run is...

So I'll be uninstalling some programs and it takes like 5 minutes for it to confirm I want to uninstall it. I'm the only admin on my computer. In Vista it came up immediately. Do I need to tell any other info?

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys could possibly help me out: I expected to be told how adjust global settings as well as program specific settings. If I click to open a program and I'm prompted and you give me the option to change when this notification appears then I want to change...

Hope this hasn't been covered to death. I searched extensively and couldn't find quite the same problem. I installed Win7 x64 Ultimate over the weekend. I previously had Beta & RC as a dual boot in addition to XPx64. I'm now running Win7 alone, though I have the HDD with XPx64 set aside...

Hi Everyone, How come I keep getting admin prompts and warnings and sometimes am even told I need to seek admin permission to do things even though my account is an admin account?? Many thanks Dan :)
