Windows Vista User Accounts Problem.

[N1SQB]

Hello All!
I running Vista 32bit on my laptop. I am using ScanControl Pro edition to program my Uniden scanners. Now the previous version, opened up right away as do all my programs. When I upgraded to the Pro-version, the computer asks me for permission to grant acess. Now I realize that this is because I have the user accounts function on. When I disable it, the ScanControl software opens up right away like the rest of my programs. However, disabling the user accounts function will leave the computer vunerable should some malware or bug get through my Maccafee firewall. Can anyone help me with this? Is there any way of getting vista to recognize this program? Even the support people cant find a fix for this....I am running the program in administrator mode.

This did the trick! I should have posted this hours ago before all my headaches started . I knew if I posted this question on this site somebody would have an answer. Thanks again Brandon! RR comes through once again!

Ok Maybe I spoke too soon!

When I clicked on the program,it gave me options to either run in quiet mode,turn UAC on/off. I clicked on quiet mode to leave it on but less hassle when opning programs. Well, I checked the UAC settings and the whole thing is off. I dont get it......I did the whole thing again, choosing quiet mode and it turns UAC off completely.

I have noticed this too, but can confirm is still enabled.
Here is an article that discusses it in detail and how to get rid of the Vista notification about UAC being turned off when set to "quiet mode"

Brandon,
How do you confirm that it is still on? When you go to the user accounts under control panel, it clearly says that it is off. By the way, thank you for helping me address this issue......

Try right clicking the shortcut then "run as administrator".
