VSA is compatible with Vista, but you need to either turn off the UAC (User Access Control) or give the user account you wish to run VSA under Administrator privileges. _________________ Bryan Davis

I was hoping Brookshire would come up with something compatable with the new Vista system, but it doesn't look like that's going to be any time soon. I'd like to get my Skulltronix running (had it for months now), but all I have is a Vista laptop. I'm not very computer savvy, sooo, how do I go about either turning off the UAC or setting up Administrator privileges?
Are there any draw backs to doing this? I just want to get my Skulltronix up and running without having to buy another laptop.
The real fault behind this lie in the hands of Microsoft, they added a somewhat unncessary security feature, but fortunately its quite easy to get past.
When your computer was new the very first account setup would have been the Administrator, or there is an account called 'Administrator' that may or may not have a password. Either way you need to know if the account you always use is an Administrator, or what the Administrator account is, the best way to discover this info is just to try.
First go to the computers control panel and look for the 'UserAccount' icon, click this to go to the user accounts section.
On the RHS of this screen you should see your username and below it you should see your priviledges, if it says administrator then your OK.
At the bottom of the screen you can see the link to turn then User Account Control on or off.... but you need Administrator priviledges to change this.
If your account hasnt got Admin rights then you need to remember what the Admin account is....... good luck
