Haha... you can't anymore, they've completely locked out the ability to stop the UAC.

My Vista is 32x, and I was able to disable UAC via Control Panel.

This has a few answers, http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.c...1273347&page=1

It'll suffer a little in performance, particularly with heavy duty tasking but with small tasks it'll be mostly fine. XP's pretty good if you can live without Vista's shininess.

Do you plan on formatting or are you trying to recover your old Vista?

I'll probably reformat the whole thing, there was little important data on it, and I've got my backups of that.

As for the info in the link, looks like I'll still need that XP if I wanna get the max out of my system.

But here's the part I don't understand.

I used to have the prompt (the little shield) on my iTunes icon. But I did something.. and now it's gone... and I can't duplicate it for anything else... =.=

Didn't work D:. Dunno what bit his system was though - just assumed all vista's had it disabled since SP1 or something (can't confirm). Might work for you o:

Guess whos back... with Vista.

Turned out that those backups I made were actually factory setting backups, which I couldn't boot from because something called "quiet boot" was enabled in the BIOS and was supressing the whole thing (-1 for Microsoft). Basically I got my comp back the same way it came to me in the mail. Can't wait to see how long this one lasts without errors.

my stupid profile at work would crash once every 2-3 months and it takes the IT people half a day to fix...

vista sux when they fall apart... (and it falls apart pretty often)
