It sounds like the program is not compatible with Vista. Your first step should be to contact Logitech to see if they have a Vista compatible version. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca | Guest

| No, the program runs perfectly well - it is a problem with the User Account Control popup. "Kerry Brown" wrote: Quote:

That means it is not programmed correctly for Vista. It is modifying a registry location or a file in a location that is not accessible by a standard user. This causes UAC to throw up the prompt. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca | Guest

I'm not convinced that Vista itself is infallible in this area. I'm seeing applications that should run at startup get blocked. I have a new Home Basic system. On it, Microsoft's Intellipoint 6.1 mouse software for x86 Vista (February 2007) is blocked at startup every time. You might give that one a try and see what happens when Ipoint.exe tries to load on startup: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en We're in trouble if even MS can't get this right.

| Blocked startup applications are getting blocked by Windows Defender. Any program that requires Administrator priveleges is blocked on startup, and you have to explicitly allow it each time. -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.

I'm using Intellipoint 6.10.155.0 which loads ipoint.exe (version 6.10.157.0). It's not blocked on startup. You may need an update. As JaneC says it's a combination of things that causes programs to be blocked. Defender and UAC may both be involved depending on the program and what it's trying to do. With Defender, again depending on the program, you may be able to enable it. If it's UAC then you can't unless you turn UAC off which is not recommended. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca | Guest

| I have downloaded the Vista compatable version of Logitech SetPoint but the alert is still coming up. I am not willing to have to allow this program to run everytime, as it takes about 10 seconds for the popup to come up (and in those 10 seconds I cannot open any applications). Is there no where I can allow this program to automatically run without permission? "Kerry Brown" wrote: Quote:

as Administrator" for Ipoint.exe, and I am logged in as administrator. Looking at the file properties for Ipoint.exe, it appears that I have full control. I've tried reinstalling Ipoint, with no change. It's good to know that some people can load Ipoint on startup without a problem. The curious thing is that loading or not loading Ipoint does not seem to affect the mouse behavior at all. All my mousing preferences load anyway. So, at this point I'm just going to disable Ipoint from attempting to load. I see no side effects from doing so and it's not worth more of anyone's time to track down the cause.

| You should take up the issue with Logitech support. If it's UAC causing the problem the software is not truly compatible with Vista. Can you post the exact text of the message in the popup? -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "BigMoosey" <BigMoosey@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F78FD12B-A1D4-4534-A763-24EBA6AB7A5D@microsoft.com...
