No one with half a brain uses UAC since you can accomplish the same level of security with a firewalled router, good anti-virus software, and common sense. I don't need a quadruple checking pop-up just to do things that couldn't possibly be malicious.Quote:

On an on-topic,
I've been talking with Game Servers staff specifically about the Devicator recently. Even though technically it's against Game Servers TOS (since you modify the server files) they don't seem to care. I've gone into detail with them about how it works in order to get it working again, ever since I switched my server from Seattle - Chicago the Devicator has only worked for 10m~ after the game starts. It then stops working but the game continues on, so I'm getting the Game Servers staff to check out the box my server is on.
Either way, I was talking to one of my old buddies that used to work Game Servers technical support and he said that if an issue arises, tell them I modified my own files and uploaded them to their server. That way I never actually "modified" their server files...

Eh? I thought pretty much everyone turned off UAC (other than the very casual users, that is).Quote:

UAC is pointless unless you get viruses and related things.
Wow, that's just so much more work than needs to be done...Quote:

This is the worst thing you can do. It turns off ALL security and lets you run in the administator context. I hate it when people recommend this. It shows how little they know about the operating system.Quote:

Go to start, click on control panel, user accounts and family safety, User accounts, Turn user account control on or off. turn off UAC, then restart you're computer then try again.
You just need to either run the game - for that one time- as administrator or download the update from the website and follow the instructions. Turning off all security is just plain stupid.
meany other Os don't have it and don't need it
its rather pointless for advance users.
-e your point is invalid, UAC doesn't prevent much
It stops any programs from doing a lot of damage. If it needs to be approved by UAC and I click no, it can't do anything. But if UAC was off, it would do it without me being able to stop it.
