UAC in Vista not working?

[Skuzzy]

The one thing I learned the hard way about UAC is you cannot reliably turn it off on a Vista system after the system has been running (installed applications, files,...) for any period of time without really making a mess of the computer.

It gets real easy to get Vista to the point it will not even be able to do any updates from Microsoft.  Once that happens, all you can do is reinstall the OS.

Better yet, dump Vista, and get Windows 7.

Thx for ALL of ur efforts to render me assistance, I most sincerely appreciate ur
taking the time, ur studying my problems & going out of ur way to assist me, ur

Skuzzy:
Thx for ur advice & suggestions, it seems that I'll have to purchase Windows 7 much sooner than I expected, this UAC problem is something else!

Btw, I downloaded & applied "Black Vipers Config.files into my registry" expecting
seamless operation of my system, but to no avail, even though I've my UAC turned
off!

My father had this same problem and like Skuzzy says the only solution was to reinstall the OS.
