Re: Halo 2 Map Editor 'Stopped Working'
For those who want to disable UAC there are two ways to do this.
- Through the control panel.
- Through the registry.
==> Disable UAC through the control panel:
- Go the the start menu and select "control panel".
- Once in the control panel select "user accounts".
- There you will see some options for user accounts, and an option to disable UAC, select that one.
- Give UAC the permission to continue and disable UAC.
- Windows will now nag you from time to time to enable UAC again, I suggest you ignore that :).
==> Disable UAC through the registry:
NOTE: This is dangerous and is at your own risk to try. I've translated this from my dutch windows, so it might needed to look a bit better to find what I mean.
- Go to the start menu and type "security" in the search box, and press enter.
- A window will now open, on your left you have a tree menu, and at the right you will have a description.
- Select "Local policy" and then select "security options" from the drop down menu.
- There will now appear many options at the right side of the window.
- Search the list for "User account control: execute all administrators in the mode 'approve through administrator'.
- Double click on that one and set it do disabled.
- UAC is now disabled through the registry and windows will not nag you with warnings.
Point 6 is the one you need to be careful with, I have translated it the best I could but I might be needed to look good, before you take actions.
For me, all the apps from the map editor work fine even with UAC enabled.
