HOWTO: Run our programs in Vista (disable UAC and enable administrator rights)

To run our applications in Vista, you need to run the programs with administrator rights. You can do this by disabling the User Account Control (UAC). Simply follow this guide to enable this feature.

1) Click Start and then open Control Panel.



2) In the Control Panel, click 'User Accounts and Family Safety'.



3) Click 'User Accounts'.



4) Click 'Turn User Account Control on or off'.



5) Clear the tick or check mark on the box beside the 'Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer' option.



6) Press OK. When prompted, restart the computer.

Alternatively, advanced users can open a registry editor. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System . In the details pane, you will find 'EnableLUA'. Change this value to 0, save and reboot the PC.

With administrator rights enabled, every feature of our software should be running. Note that these changes will automatically enable administrator rights for all users.
