this method works hence this thread is solved 4 anyone else who has windows 7 do the following if u have the same problem.

Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts

change user account settings
and turn the dial right to the bottom, to "never notify"

i did this after installing the PB setup application.

Remember to turn UAC back on when you're done playing if you're not comfortable with it off all the time.
