Having problems with UOAM, Razor, etc? Vista? - Galens - 12-28-2007
If you are a Vista user, a very easy solution to most of your problems, is running everything with admin permission.
Using the windows user access control feature is nearly a 90% must in older programs, or non Vista compatible types. Sometimes switching compatability mode to Windows XP SP 2 is not the correct solution, or not even a solution at all.
I have found several programs that will NOT work for Vista, unless you
Right click execution icon, usually referred to as blah.exe or if not labled, it is the command that you double click to run any program on the desktop, same for programs listing in the start menu. After you right click, you have two ways of accomplishing this task, they are:
Right click and go to Run As Administrator
Or
Right click, go to properties, go to compatibility tab. Next, look near the bottom, and you will see a check box for run as administrator always, or something similar. Check that box, and usually this will fix the problem.
Vista is funky, and its funky getting around certain programs. My first week using Vista, I nearly took Thor (My sledge hammer, yes, it has a name) and smashed my brand new 1000 $ computer.

At first, Vista was a piece of over hyped garbage. But after getting used to all the new commands and features, I grew to accept it and cherish it even more than XP. I especially love the virtualization features, including the minimized live feed windows you can use.
*Describing the live feed window, minimize a game or program, whatever, then bring your arrow over the minimized tab in your task bar. It will show a window with live feed of what is being shown on that. Its great for playing other games while afk macroing fishing and such. When a GM comes alone, I can clearly see them.*
