Windows Vista Security

Will someone please fix the security lockdowns on Vista? Everytime I install
an application, it I somehow am unable to make sure everything is installed
to run as administrator, I can't use the application. Then when I install
updates, even on Internet Explorer, I get locked out of the application with
fatal errors and can never figure out how to change the security settings
since I am still locked out of changing them regardless of whether I am
logged in as administrator. I am Sooooooooooo angry and frustrated over this
I want to switch to another operating system. I have wasted countless hours
just trying to use my computer. I have reinstalled the operating system
countless times to reset the security. I am sick of this!
