Vista Privileges by lrac522 on 11-05-2007 at 02:02 AM

I am kinda new to this Vista thingy and found it to be so annoying, most of my programs i usually use with XP are not running because i'm being told by Mr Vista that i don't have administrative privileges to do so. I bought this computer which makes me the owner so why don't i have privileges? Please educate me on how i can bypass this. Thanks a alot.  Hi all :wave:

If a program needs admin privileges, Vista should fire up a UAC dialog where you enter the admin password. Bit like working on Linux.
