Don't get mad at me, too, but you're saying things that confuse me.

First of all, the installer says in plain English that if you have Vista with UAC enabled, you should use the option they show you first. If you told it to install in the program location, it meant you were making a decision for which you should have knowledge of the implications. I, for example, had no problem with P8 on Vista installed into the Program Files, because I have UAC disabled. Why are you mad at SM when you made a mistake on installing it?

Sorry...I'm honestly not mad at you!

I'm 'upset', not mad, that I'm having to spend weeks following technical support's instructions without getting anywhere, and whenever P8 is installed I cannot use the rest of my computer. So that's why I have to keep taking it off, then putting it back to answer technical support's questions.

Technical support told me to use install option 1, and not any other, which I did. This is recent reinstall of P8 was the only reinstall with UAC operating. I told technical support that all the previous tries at installing and running P8 had UAC disabled. I told technical support that I always used to, up to today, run my PC with UAC disabled. I don't see how I've made a mistake if 'install option 1' installs to the program location, and that's what technical support told me to do.

The only thing that showed in processes was Poser 8. I'm not installing P8 again as it slows down my computer, which is fine without it. For example, if I have P8 installed I cannot even get on here to report what's happening, because P8 interfears with my internet.
