I am the only user on my pc and have an administrator account, but I tried to
install some software and I was told I needed to be an administrator or a
power user, another piece of software- Tune Up Utilities- did this on part of
its program but i simply right clicked and set it up to run as an
administrator but doing this on the download I have (AdFlex) does nothing. I
can also not access control panel as each time explorer has to close down. I
had hoped i could get RC2 and the problem might have been fixed but RC2 seems
to be unavilable no longer. Any Ideas on what I can do?

TuneUp Utilities is not yet suitable for Vista (That info is from them
yesterday). Go into Control Panel/User accounts and turn User Account Control
OFF. That will solve most access problems. Being an administrator in Vista is
way different from XP - you have much much less authority. Its all part of
the new security measures. Colin

do a system restore, (to an ealier point), i.e. before you installed the
software you shouldn't have!

You said you installed tuneup utilities. Try to restore to a state before
the installation, cause this might be the reason for the crash of the
explorer task.

Yes, I tries going to Control Panel => User Account to turn User Account Control off.

System would ask me to restart the Vista to let this change take effect.
After I come back to VISTA, an alert is sitting at system tray telling me the UAC is now off.

But I found that the message that pops up to confirm Administrator access right does not come out anymore.
I also found that my VISTA is running faster than ever.

Is this normal? I mean UAC does consume so much CPU time?
Or, I am seeing something unusual?

Any comment?
