UAC causing start up error message

I recently ran an AOL madatory security update that caused lots of problems
on my computer. I used Acronis to restore so I got out of it. I did some
reading and found out I should have UAC on when instaling software. The only
reason I don't use UAC is when I start up I get, "Program failed it
initialize properly 0x0000022. Click OK to terminate the program." It is
Norton 360 that won't "initialize." I cannot get 360 to run when I have UAC
enabled. I contacted Norton, they had me disable everything, firewall, etc.
and the problem still persisted. They are now telling me it is Microsoft
causing the problem and to contact them. Thus, the question here.

Does anybody have any ideas I can try to have UAC enabled AND get my Norton
360 to run on start up?

Thanks,
Sandy

The first problem is Norton.
I won't allow any of their products near my machines.

If you really want to run that, uninstall it completely, reboot, then put in
the CD and find the install file, right click it and select 'run as
administrator' with UAC enabled. Click through the prompts to install.
Problem solved?

You ran an AOL mandatory security update? Well, it seems you toasted
everything. <g>

I suggest that you use a Restore point prior to introducing an *AOL
mandatory security update* and restore things back to what they were before
you did it.

You should check to see when doing something like you have done that what
you're about to do is Vista compliant. And if you get out of this without
having to reinstall the O/S, you can consider yourself lucky.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I will do what you suggested....

I'll post here how it goes...

Thanks again!

Hi Mr. Arnold... Thanks for the input here. I did create a restore point but
unfortunately that didn't work. Actually, Windows Restore has never worked
for me. That is why I have Acronis True Image 11 - I was able to restore my
entire PC image in 20 minutes (that thing is a life saver.) Everything is
back as it was... before AOL and their mandatory security update.... It
seems you need to have UAC enabled before you run any type of update for
software - that I did not know. I'm trying to get Norton running with UAC on
so I can do the right thing the next time.... I don't want UAC on and NO
virus protection running while I update something.

Thanks for your input!

NO, I don't think UAC has anything to do with it. It comes down to are you
trying to install software of any type on Vista that is NOT Vista compliant
software. If you are doing that (installing software) or (some kind of
monitory security update that's not from MS) on Vista that is not Vista
compliant software, then you are liable to hose things again -- UAC or no
UAC enabled.

If you cannot verify that any software you install is Vista compliant, then
you install said software at your own risk. I think you have seen the
results of doing this.

And Vista Restore point is not working, because you never enabled it.

Adoration of the Acronis True Image.

Sales have been sagging at ***** Computer. The sales department has decided
to launch a new grass root campaign. Mrs. X started this thread:

Post 1:

Mitsy, You should remember, I told you at the last writers conference that I
am writing a bestseller. After we installed Vista I really had hard time
saving it on the hard disk. Every night when I save my file the hard disk
becomes soft and next morning my bestseller is not a bestseller. I want to
save my bestseller in a True Image, you know that and this terrible
operating system did not want to do it.

In total desperation I googled for "true image" and you know what? I found
this incredible company that sells cccAcronis True Image. I grabbed my
credit card right away and downloaded it. It does save my bestseller in True
Image. No Vista in the world can do it.

Post 2:

Betsy, your stuttering is getting totally unacceptable. I could not
understand what you'd downloaded. I told you at the last conference that I
am also writing a bestseller. I had such terrible time with Vista that I
decided to download guess what? Acronis True Image because without it I
could not even look at myself in the mirror. Even my mirrors did not show me
in my true image.

You know what, Betsy? Now I can save my bestseller on a hard disk and in the
morning I find it finished. Could you believe it? Acronis True Image has
this wonderful property. It can finish your writing while you sleep. Is it
not wonderful Not to mention that fact that I can see myself in the mirror
10 years younger, in real, true image.

Post 3:

Mitsy, I told you that I also downloaded Acronis True Image. I don't know
why you are saying my stuttering is so bad. Acronis actually improved it
too. You know what I discovered? For an additional hundred dollars I could
turn a switch in Acronis and it not only finished my bestseller but wrote
total five new bestsellers. My hard disk was filled with bestsellers. I am
going to be rich.

Post 4

Betsy, The things are really looking up. I am writing NoStop. And you know
what, men got a wind of it too. Oh boy, I think it has this elephant quality
in it. My old man downloaded it yesterday and you could not believe it. Last
night it was much better than with Viagra.

Here is the Link to the problem caused by the AOL instant messaging program
that is supposed to be compatible with Vista...

My Windows Restore is enabled. For this problem it didn't work.

Maybe someone has an answer, but that usually works.
Personally I quit using Norton after Symantec bought them out.
Their software just doesn't perform up to my expactations and seems to cause
more problems than it solves.
There are other solutions that are less intrusive and less expensive, or
even free.
