Another annoying thing about UAC, when it’s turned off you get an annoying shield in the corner that whinges at you that you’ve turned it off, and I’m like yeah I meant to turn it off, I don’t want no rubbishy little shield annoying me now, and to make things worse, the only way to get rid of that shield is to turn off all security notifications, including the one that warns you that your anti-virus is out of date, come on Microsoft a seperate option would have been nice and made sense. £90 (glad I bought the OEM version and not the retail) for a piece of half-baked junk software – rip off of the century.

I have had Vista for about 5 minutes and already it has been driving me nuts. Thank you so much for the information regarding the process to make it a bit more workable without needing a constant dose of aspirin. You are a life saver if not my life than certainly my computer’s who is an innocent victim of Vista abuse.

I like the notifications. The problem is they don’t stop at one. I get two or three.

Plus I get them for trvial changes. Aghhhhhhh!

Saint — try pressing ENTER or RETURN instead of giving a password. Sometimes that works. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t help you there — I’m not too familiar with how the Mac networks with a Windows computer …

I am having trouble accessing my Vista Home Premium laptop from my Mac. It is populating the workgroup and my user name but it’s asking for a password that I never had to begin with and don’t remember needing. I did have to have the laptop sent in and the mother board changed and have been trying to get things back to normal ever since. I have done the regedit change from 3 to 0 thing, but nothing is working! Please help!
