Yes, I uninstalled 1B. Ran the Patch, then reinstalled 1B and got the same error. Tuning off the UAC cleared the error, so obviously its hanging up on something the UAC is doing. If I should keep it on, then is there to have it exclude Aurora while still having it protect the rest of the compute?

See, now I wouldn't turn it off. Do you really turst that Windows will still be secure enough with a deadbolt on thier screen door disabled? How easy do you want to make it for viri/malware to get in?
UAC isn't exactly an anti-anything, it's more of a nanny to sit there and ask if you really want to do it.
I work with vendors that tell me that UAC, Antivirus, anti-spyware, and network backups are the reason that thier software doesn't work, and tell me to stop everything. I just ask them if they are going to support all of the security issues that arrise from the lack of protection and backups.
For my Vista 32 everything runs well enough. Sequencer asks me each time I start if that's what I wanted to do, and says that it crashed when I close the program. Other than that, it's just like XP, possibly a bit better.
You did do the Vista Patch AND THEN installed 1b? Right?

Seems that the general concensus is that UAC’s primary purpose is to stop users from doing dumb things. It's yet another level of automated OS protection. Good for folks like my wife Turning it off means you just have to try and be in control - same as all previous versions of Windows OS. Means using some common sense - not much different than we've had to do under XP or before.
May not be the best thing to do from the security standpont but I disabled it as soon as I installed Vista (and Windows 2008).
There's a ton of articles on the controversy of turning it off or leaving it on.
My personal choice was to disable and take my chances making my best guess based upon the many years working with this stuff. It was just too annoying and I didn't want to kick the new computer - not yet, It's got to run my xmas show

ok, I redid this post since I got the 64 bit machine to run both the sequencer and the scheduler. My question is how important is it to have UAC turned ON? If its ON, I cant get either, I get error messages for both programs . If I shut UAC off, both open clean.
I'm new to Vista, so should it be turned on? Edited by ChrisL1976 - 30 Sep 2008 at 8:38pm |
