UAC blocking software from executing...

#1 Post by CrunchDude2 » Tue Sep 04, 2007 10:47 pm

Has anyone experienced something similar to this: I had installed the software that powers my Broadband Sprint card with UAC OFF, and when I decided to turn UAC back ON, it would no longer work. So I turn UAC back OFF, and sure enough, it's working again just fine.

How important or valuable is UAC really? It's quite annoying to have to constantly click to give applications permission to start, install, etc.

What do you guys think?

I read that somewhere else. If you install software (at least some software) with UAC off, then that is the only way that software will run in the future. I guess you should decide whether you want to use UAC or not, then install your software accordingly.
