Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Annoying Challenge ?
I am running Vista Bus. I have 1 program in my start-up group which seems to get challenged every day or so. Is there a way to stop that annoying "Allow/Disallow" Challenge? Also I have 1 website that when Protected mode is on causes IE7 to go totally nuts. It tries opening the page over and over and over again. Until I force all the pages to close. It seems to only be that 1 page, aol.com. I am also working w/Symantec on this b/c Norton360 likes turning it back on. Any feedback is appreciated. Create a shortcut to the app to use to start it, and set the properties of the shortcut to "run as administrator" You will have to boot to safe mode to create the shortcut with that property available. I have my Command Prompt icon on the start menu set to 'run as admin', and I use the prompt to start IE without protected mode. start IExplore  SignatureWas this helpful?

If you're saying your acct is a member of the local admin group, that is different than "running as admin." The local admin group has limited adm rights. Lang Lang, Excuse my ignorance here. But my machine has really just 1 acct. The admin. acct. I check the properties and it seems to have ALL rights. I know Vista is supposed to be *more* secure. But I'd think if you tell it trust the program it shouldn't ask you every day. >> Mark, >> I run everything as admin. I am the sole user of the pc.

While other might object, I -do- attempt to be nice about stuff in this NG. Sometimes it is hard to determine when more detail, rather than less detail, is required. In any case, hope your question is answered. If not... post back. Lang >>> Unless you specifically enable the built in Administrator account, you >>> won't see it to log into it.

I suspect it isn't fully compatible with Vista yet. Have you considered the weather channel sidebar gadget? I know it's more convienient to see the temp in the tray but I don't get the prompts with the gadget (and it's quite a bit larger). There are also other weather sidebar gadgets, I just trust weather channel more then most. SignatureMyron > Mark, > I run everything as admin. I am the sole user of the pc. Program in quest.

I currently have the sidebar off. So I am not using any gadgets yet. I do like Weather Ch. better as you said. I know I had Weather Bug on my Xp machine and removed it foe Weather Ch. > Larry, > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] >> >> am also working w/Symantec on this b/c Norton360 likes turning it back >> >> on.

And I dropped all Symancrap products long ago, and I've had a much happier computing experience ever since. SignaturePeace!

If you're running Vista, then Windows Update no longer operates through Internet Explorer. This is one of the reason why Vista is more secure than XP.

I am having the same problem as Larry M with the weather channel but I am wondering why when I turn the computer on the temp shows in the taskbar but later it asks for permission to run. > I am running Vista Bus.
