Q5
: In Windows Vista
,
I am getting an
“
elevation prompt”
of the
administrator permission
each
time I perform any new driver installation/un-installation or running any new application. Why?
•
A5:
Windows Vista OS has added a new Security Feature called as
“UAC (User Account Control)”
.
So, for Windows Vista OS if
UAC has been turned on
(refer to
Appendix
)
then you will get an
“
elevation prompt”
of the administrator permission each time you perform any new driver
installation/un-installation
like follows. In that case, Press Allow button and continue your driver
installation/un-installation.
In general, with “
Administrator Approval Mode”
, Windows
Vista
will run most applications with
standard user permissions
even if the user is
an administrator.
If a user wishes to run a program that
requires
administrator permissions,
they
must give consent
through a
User Account Control
prompt.
Please have a
further check
on
this feature

the following web
