Devastating "administrator account" problem

Hi there. My name is John and I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit
edition.

I'm terribly sorry if this isn't in the right place but I am desperate
to find a fix to this devastating problem.

I am the only user on my computer. I am the administrator. I have UAC
disabled.

When running certain programs however I get a message telling me that I
need to be Administrator to run this program. It has happened a couple
of times but I haven't really paid attention to it due to it being
resolved automatically or me not really caring.

I try the "run as administrator" option, but it doesn't change
anything.

Windows vista does that on some programs I have to right click on it
then run it as Admin. that is the way vista runs programs that need
admin rights even if you are logged in as admin.

Hi Joe,

Do you have a tab button, could be flashing, for the UAC prompt to
select on the taskbar? It may be just be hidden behind another window.

I know that Vista does ask you to run certain programs as Administrator
try right clicking on the program and click on run as adiministrator.
went through that expirence on mine, hope this help
