Gametap and UAC problems...

I'm actually having the same probs... Already disabled that User Control
thing and it's install still locks right up as soon as it starts running
installshield. I even let it sit there for a few minutes to see if it would
unfreeze itself to no luck. I end up closing the program down with the usual
C A D keys... I've emailed the good folks at Gametap, but haven't heard back
yet.... Anybody else having this prob??

errors every time I clicked the 'post' button...
