Quote: *From my experience the issue with UAC is not in the programming, but UAC itself and how it is used by users or the understanding of how to use it. Many Users create an account, but then install under the Admin Account instead of as an Administrator under the User Account (Microsoft does not recommend this). Others have actually run Vista under the Admin Account, instead of the User Account (Microsoft actual has warnings against this). Things like Virtual Store, Permissions, etc.. all come into play with any program on Vista.
To be honest: I never heard of UAC, untill my poserpro files started to disappear, and I found out what the cause was by searching the internet and the poserforum. I only bought Vista ultimate because I wanted to use the full 64bit capacity of poserpro and Vue7Infinte. If I knew that it would cause so much troubles I would have gone for xp64, but it was too late for that.

*I ditto that, SM just has to fix this.
To my opinion: The way UAC works in Vista is just far too complicated for the average user, I understand that it's useful to avoid viruses, trojans, hackers, rootkits, cyberbots and any other kind of cybercrime you can imagine, but you have to be a full-skilled programmer to know all the settings you need to make it workable. I hope this will be better in windows7.
