After that Win7 SP1 firefox Gets a user account control prompt every time I open it.

After installing the windows 7 service pack 1 update, whenever Firefox is started I am invited guest UAC (User Account Control) to ask my permission because he will try to make changes. My UAC setting is enabled by default and reinstall the latest version of Firefox (3.6.13) does not alleviate the problem.

Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.

Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".

In the Compatibility tab, make sure that this level of privilege: "Run this program as an administrator" is not selected.

You should also check the firefox.exe program properties in the Firefox program directory.

  • Get fast user account control

    Original title: a shortcut, I have long used now I request "do allow you the following program to make changes to this computer?" when I click it. How is this happen and how do I do stop asking me?

    Here's the situation:

    (1) I have a shortcut icon for "go to my pc" on my desktop. I could always click here and download my login screen (I use Gotomypc daily for work).

    (2) recently my updates Windows upgraded my IE 9 to 10 IE without asking to tell me. I didn't like it and it wasn't compatible with my printer, so I came here, discovered how to get rid of the upgrade and re - download the previous version.

    (3) I wanted to avoid leaving Windows pass me again, so I fiddled around so that Windows has asked me before it updated again.

    I don't really know what I was doing, I was just trying my best. I'm not really all that tech savvy.

    (4) now, whenever I click on my thumb for the icon of my pc, a message appears asking "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer? It says 'User Account Control' on the top bar, it pings and I have to click Yes to continue. This annoys me and I can't understand what it takes to make it go back to the way it was. I also note that the icon has a small checkered blue top and yellow badge which did not previously exist.

    (5) I tried to remove the shortcut icon, and download it again, but it just comes back the same way.

    Please help - tell me what I need to do to remove the icon for this control of user account control. I am the 'administrator', why can't tell it what to do?

    PS - I didn't know really what "about Windows" to choose! This is probably in the wrong place...

  • WMP 11 - How can I get rid of the long pause every time before opening of the media?

    Whenever I start to play a song in WMP 11, there is a long pause before start and whole page crashes. It is never used to happen before I reinstalled XP and had to download WMP 11 recently again. It occurs when the songs play continuously, only when I play songs individually. It's really annoying and time consuming, especially if I want to compare different songs.

    Does anyone have an idea what is the cause and, most importantly, how to fix?

    Be happy!

    It still looks like a driver/hardware problem. Have you checked the Web site of the manufacturer of the sound card for the latest drivers?

    Alternatively, you can try to lower the hardware acceleration tab of the DirectX Diagnostic tool Sound 1 .

    If it still does not help, then I suggest that report you the make and model of your card its here. Someone else might be able to provide some useful suggestions. Another option would be to contact the support of your sound card or the computer manufacturer.
