Disable UAC Option
Oct 15, 2009
1 - I disabled UAC option.
2 - Crap starts happening right after. what crap? Some programs such as tuneup utillites,psp video converter cannot work. Programs that can speed up the system such as programs (that disable some programs to start during pc startup) CRASH now.
3 - Decides to turn on the UAC on again. THEN??when try to turn it on under windows security center,it says " dont have permission to perfrom action,pls contact administrator" (simpified msg)tried ticking it under user account option,keeps unticking again2. tried do registry method using regedit, cannot also. that leads me to create admin account to turn on UAC. So i follow this command in cmd prompt(RIGHT CLICK AND RUN AS ADMIN YEAH I KNOW)

I have tried to format my computer, first I tried by just inserting the disc, no luck, then I tried booting it from the disc, no luck then I tried going into computer management right clicking my c drive but the format option is no available. I have evn tried phoneing Microsoft but they want $80.00. Finally I thought I would format it by using my XP disc, installing XP and then upgrading to put vista back on the system but it won't let me do that either.

When you right click on a program you get the box that opens giving you all kinds of options; run as administrator, scan with, etc. What do you call that box? I am running Vista, but a friend is running XP. She used to have listed in that box the option to scan with her anti virus program, but she no longer does. Is there a way, in XP, to add this to that box?

I have to buy a new computer and am very reluctant to use VISTA (I personally like XP Home). However, there aren't a whole lot of options out there in the stores.
One option I did hear about is buying a computer with VISTA installed and with the option of downgrading (free) to Windows XP Pro.

The file Send E-Mail option is not present from the Office Button in Excel, is not available from the Office Button in Word, and is present and functional from the Office Button in PowerPoint. I use Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, Windows Mail and the MS-Office Home & Student 2007 suite.

Suddenly, my computer freezed (just like it has been doing for some time now). When I restarted it, the computer asked for the Vista DVD, so that it could repair some files (I couldn't even boot into Safe Mode). I put the DVD inside the drive, and choose the "Repair your computer" option, but it reports that no Vista installation is found...
I then boot into the Rescue and Recovery environment (that is a Thinkpad suite, located in another partition of the disk) to see what's going on. The System Information detects everything except the Hard Drive (it reports "Not Available" for the fields "Hard disk free space" and "Hard disk capacity"). I also can't see the harddisk in the option to backup the files to a pen (the pen is recognized, though). Just to be sure, I run PC Doctor and my hard disk passes all tests.

I'm new to the Forum so I hope I'm doing this correctly. Anyway, initially I was trying to create a mailing group, but could not see a choice for that option in my Contacts folder. Turns out it was set on "Pictures and Videos" and I read, in this Forum, how to fix that so it would show my list of contacts, and would therefore show the choice for setting up a group. That worked fine. My problem is - my changes don't seem to want to stay! For instance, today I was working in my picture folders, and then when I went back into Windows Mail and clicked on Contacts, it was back to showing "Pictures and Videos!" Why won't it stay on Contacts after I configure the folder? I do click "Apply" and then "OK," but that doesn't seem to make a difference. It keeps changing back.

In an effort to speed up my start up time I downloaded instructions from Microsoft's download site. One option used Windows Defender. I tried that. It changed nothing. I then tried an option using msconfig. I unchecked certain programs leaving my Anti Virus and Microsoft Operating programs. After a restart nothing had changed. The desktop still had the same icons. Maybe there is something I don't understand about start up programs. Has anyone any comments on this matter.

Recently, I went to the start menu to search for a file, and found (or rather, did not find...) that 'search' had gone missing from the menu. I can still use it from specific pages, such as My Documents, but not as a general option. Secondly, Internet Explorer has an annoying habit of locking up, then giving me the option of exiting the program or restarting...

I thought there is supposed to be an 'Enable Transparency' option in Personalize > Window Color and Appearance. I don't see one. Is there a setting elsewhere that would make this option disappear?

I'm unsure about flashing my BIOS. My MoBo is Abit AB9 Quad GT. I have downloade the latest version, and it came with the AWDFLSH utility. My confusion lies in whether or not I should create a partition and copy the files to it, and boot from there (if that is even possible), or if I can just run the utility program from my desktop.

Weirdest thing I noticed recently that when I right-click on my recycle bin, there is no "delete". I didn't make any changes that I am aware of I have researched online and can't find anything at all.

When I start windows home premium on a new pc for the first time should i get an option to choose the installation language? I bought a pc in germany and the start up failed i got an error message in an endless loop i got it to start with the recovery disc but that has set it to German and i cant change it. Can anyone confirm or not that if the set up had run correctly i should have been offered the option to set up in English. if this is the case i can go back to the manufacturer and complain.

In details view of files, you can drag a file up or down the list, and explorer deselects sorts and you get an unsorted list. This feature is very annoying, as right button dragging to a folder and selecting move will also deselect sorts as well. This is something I do all day long, and I have to click the name header to re-activate sorts after every file I move or copy. Why does explorer have this unsorted ability? Can it be disabled and act like XP? This one bug is making the use of Vista a pain in the butt, and the only reason I'm using Vista is the Dell machine I have can't get Gigabit speed any network addapter when this machine runs XP. We tried 3 different brands of Gigabit networks cards, and they only get 100Mb speed on a Gigabit network,

I'm using an HP pc, running XP Pro. I am practicing seting up a small business network and at that time decided to set up a user account, I gave this account administrative status. In doing so Administrator is no longer an option on the welcome screen. That is where all of my settings are and my contacts,etc. Now it will not let me delete the new account that I set up in order to get back to the original administrator.

I had to perform recovery on my computer and after doing so, when I right click on a file or folder the option to move or copy to is gone. I cannot move files or folders from another location. Also cannot transfer from cd or flash drive to computer.

I installed Vista Home Premium upgrade as a dual boot with my original xp installation. Both are on separate hard drives. I now want to get rid of xp and use the hard drive for a Windows 7 machine I am building. Will this infringe the upgrade license? If this is okay, how do I get rid of the boot screen with OS choice option?
