Annoying UAC Warning

MrKite

I just built this PC, installed Vista and also MS Works 2001. I keep getting
a flashing UAC warning in the task bar that WKUpdate.exe wants to access my
computer. I can click allow or deny, and it keeps coming back, no option to
add to trusted users. I am about ready to turn UAC off anyway. Any
suggestions? Thanks.

Yes, my suggestion is DO NOT DISABLE UAC.
Many posts relate to this subject and UAC is a security feature that is one
of the best ways not to get spyware added to your system. If you turn it
off you will lose a great feature for this type of security. It does seem
to get in the way a little, be a little annoying etc. But the alternative
is much worse. But this is IMHO only.

Thanks for the response. I may tough it out a little longer, hopefully the
alerts will drop off in number.

Hi MrKite,

You might see if using Compatibility Mode will allow MS Works 2001 to
run better for you. I would try checking the "Run as administrator"
option first. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.
