UAC Hang

Whenever I try to run an application as an administrator under my normal user
account the computer hangs. I press "Runas administrator" and I get the
credential input screen with the rest of the screen greyed out. I use my
admin the credentials and press OK, the screen the stays greyed out and
nothing happens. The same thing happens when I just press the CANCEL button
under the credential input screen. Any solutions?

UP

Hi al
Same problem here: when I am logged in as standard user andsom
software needs my action due to UAC, I get the grey 'secure desktop
screen asking for my admin password. But when I enter that password
nothing happens. The credential prompt disappears and the grey scree
stays there forever. I can only press ctrl+alt+del and then 'cancel' t
get back to my normal desktop
Also I tried deactivating the secure desktop, but even without that
the issue remains: the UAC kicks in and asks for my admin password, an
after I enter it, the computer starts thinking forever with the littl
blue circle circling and circling
Has anyone met this problem and found a solution? I have to say the UA
used to work perfectly well but this strange behaviour appeared after
number of software installs (and so can't tell which one caused thi
exactly)

RDemandt: did you find a solution yourself? Btw, would your computer b
a HP? Mine is, and I wonder if this is not related to some of the H
software updates I installed on my computer..

Thanks all for your help

Who the heck are you talking to?

well 'RDemandt' is apparently the name of the guy who posted th
previous msg in this thread :

Anyway, I got the solution: this is a HP-software related problem
There is an incompatibility with 'Credential Manager', which is
component of the 'HP Protect Tools suite'. I deactivated Credentia
Manager through the Protect Tools Parameters panel, and the UAC i
functioning normally again. Except that, of course, fingerprint login i
now impossible since it is managed by Credential Manager..
