PR now affected by UAC?

Post by MADTKBOY »

Up till 91, PR ran straight after I double click the shortcut. The .95 shortcut now has an UAC shield on it and makes give it permission to run everytime I try to start it.... What's up with that?

To clarify, it cites unknown publisher as the reason for requiring permission on every startup of pr.exe

what's so different about .95 vs .91 that this is now occured?

UAC sheild is just there so you don't have to tick the admin box in the compatibility setting on the pr.exe and the bf2.exe like you had to do before.

If UAC bothers you ... just turn it off in windows settings. Its an utterly useless safety feature that malware writers learned to bypass 2 weeks after windows vista was out.
