Vista Security

DickNervous · 17-November-07, 03:56 PM

Okay, so I got VIsta installed on my gaming rig cause I have an 8800GTX and want to see what DX10 is all about. No problem. I have games installed, I play. All is good.

Now I got some patches and stuff that I downloaded on another machine and put on my file server. I want to copy them locally to install. Whenever I try to copy the files to the local machine it tells me I need permission to do that.

I am a freakin Administrator, why the hell do I need permissions?!?!?! Vista security is pissing me off. I even changed the permissions on the C drive giving all users and all authenticated users full access. No such luck.

Any ideas?

Hey DN,

Go To:

- Control Panel (not classic view)
- User Accounts & Family Safety
- User accounts
- Turn User Account Control on or off

uncheck the box and hit OK

BAM!!! there you have it

THanks guys, I'll give those things a try. I was just to damned frustrated to even do a search on it. All I wanted to do was update my damn nVIdia drivers and play CoD4...
