Due to previous frustrations with Windows 7's user account control "feature" (or whatever), I've taken ownership of everything I could on the C drive. My account also has administrator rights. But when I try to install Bittorrent, the user account control window pops up asking me if I want to allow the program ...

I've got the UAS slider set to the default setting, one down from the top. It baffles me why starting a Microsoft program (Word, Excel, Outlook) generates the warning message, “Do you want to let the following program make changes to your computer?” Is there a way to turn this warning message off on a program-by-program basis? 1 person got this answer I do ...

I appreciate your opinions on this but I was posting a question for a technical question on whether something will work or not. I always have code to use an admin username and password to raise the program's level to admin which I currently do. It's not a security threat when it is the single program running as an admin - it does not open doors to the user or attacks on the internet when ONLY ...

Microsoft Word 2000 was released in June of 1999, it is considered to be a product that is not certified to work under Windows 7. Either upgrade to a more recent version of Office (version 2003 or later can work). Otherwise, right click the Microsoft Word 2000 icon and click Troubleshoot Compatibility and select an appropriate version of Windows the program is known to work in.

Sounds like a local security policy setting. I personally turn off UAC (it's too much hassle), but to troubleshoot. I would start by reviewing the local security policy and see if there is something preventing the access. Hope that helps provide some direction.
