How Vista can Screw Up your Gaming Life

Signed, sealed and delivered by Hakenden Friday, November 2, 2007

Do you often find yourself wondering, "Why doesn't my software/program work on Vista?". The answer is quite simple actually, all due to UAC (User Account Control).

The UAC is what prevents most of us to run certain programs, even after you have set it to run as Administrator. This is one of the most screwed up implementation for Windows Vista, honestly.

I tried re-installing O2Jam while having UAC offed. Installation was as normal, then I attempted to launch the O2Jam Launcher.exe, and guess what? This time it works!

I am updating O2Jam, yes!!


To disable UAC, just click the Windows' Start button, click on your User Icon and choose "Turn User Account Control on or off", and voila, no more stupid restrictions.

In conclusion, Windows Vista has stupid features that may or may not cause trouble to your gaming/working experience (use it only if you are extremely certain, don't regret later).
