Hi,
i am running on vista and I rencently installed a demo version of Surfer
from Golden software. I now try to uninstall it but get an error saying that
the administrator as set polcies to prevent this action.
There is only 4 accounts on this machine and only one (mine) with
administrator privileges. i use my account but can't uninstall. I tried
creating a new user called administrator but I get a message this account
already exist (????) I did not create it so hoe come it exists.
there does not seem to be a "run as administrator" option for uninstalling
software hence i am in a dead end.
Can someone help me get arround this situation that is driving me crazy.

this raises another question. Why is there an administrator account in Vista
that we cannot access if some tasks in vista are only possible while logged
in as administrator and there is no way to log in as administrator?

thanks
 
If you hit F8 at startup, go into Safe Mode, you will be offered the option
of admin Account.
 
I'm having the exact same problem as Ter. How do I disable this UAC?

A lot of users will want to know, since Bill's kids are such fricking nannies, instead of
recognizing that the end-user is GOD, BillG, is his/her employee, and Windows is
merely *kindly permitted* to run on their private property, to Microsoft's profit.

Open Control Panel.
At upper left, choose Control Panel Home.
Click Security (4-color shield) icon.
Click User Accounts and Family Safety.
Click User Accounts.
At bottom of list, choose Turn User Account Control On or Off.

If you're running (haven't strangled to death) Windows Defender, it will complain hysterically
about your not allowing User Account Control. If you are the only user, the chief concern is
someone hacking in via your internet connection and exceeding the normal authority permitted
to sneak thieves in your house. Whenever you're connected to the internet, be sure a good
firewall program is running (and up-to-date.) Vista has its own. You may prefer to use one
you're used to, that doesn't try to enforce Microsoft's supremacy over its users every thirty
seconds.

Don't forget to change settings in Windows Defender, so it will stfu about this bug up its ass,
but just show the security icon on the notification panel.
