I am running Vista Business and was having no problems using a mobile broadband USB modem until last week when I stopped being able to connect when using a standard login, but can still connect when logged in as administrator. User Account Control is switched off. Have replaced the modem, uninstalled and reinstalled the software/drivers, etc etc but it seems to be a Vista problem rather than being related to either the modem or the ISP software. Nobody from my ISP, computer manufacturer, or modem manufacturer has any idea how to fix the problem. Thanks for any help you can offer. -- alex

- 1. registration of visual web developer
i registered my visual web developer 2005 but after some days it is again asking for registration the previous registration key is not working i can't more money on this again should i take any legal actions to this - 2. Permission denied to access folders
I recently upgraded from XP SP2 to Vista using an upgrade disc I received from Dell with the purchase of my laptop. Most everything transferred over smoothly but when I tried to access common folders such as My Music, My Pictures, etc. I was given an error message saying "You don't currently have permission to access this folder; click continue to access." After clicking continue, I saw another message saying I was denied permission and given an option to go to the security tab to change some settings. I worked with those settings but still was not able to get anywhere. I only have one account setup on this machine right now. Also, UAC has been turned off. Can anyone help me? I believe these folders are the old ones that I used back on XP and not the new ones created by Vista, but since I'm still so new to Vista I really have no idea which is which. - 3. Installing and Saving Files
I have recently purchased a Windows Vista Home Premium OS, but there is a problem that has risen. For some unknown reason I can't install files or save them onto my Program Files section without it telling me I need Administrative Rights. The real problem is that I'm the only user and also the only administrator. Now, I have to save my files onto my personal folder located in "C:\Users\(my user name)\AppData(which is a hidden folder)\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files". After that, then I transer the files via copying and pasting into my Program Files (which is somehow allowed). How can I save myself from accessing 6 different files to get to my files to just going from C drive to Program Files? Please help, I've been trying to solve for days.

YES! Thanks so much. I had been advised to turn off UAC to "fix" another problem - having a "Wireless Switch Setting Utility" box pop up and ask for Administrator permission... but 'm much happier to put up with the minor annoyance of that, now that I can get connected again! -- alex

Hi, Glad it's working and UAC pop-up's are a minor annoyance, but no where near the annoyance you have just witnessed by turning it off. A lot went into the devolvement of UAC and it's there for your protection, leave it on. I'll add your problem to my notes of the ramifications of turning it off can and will cause. Thanks for posting back. -- All the best, SG

4.Unable to connected to shared printer in Vista, XP works ok
I have a print server in an Active Directory environment. I had successfully added printers to all of the workstations in our department both XP and Vista. This week; however, we are not able to print from any of our Vista workstations. I have rolled back all MS Updates for the server and the Vista workstations to no avail. This was working last week. Below is the error I receive when attempting to connect to one of the shared printers on the server. Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000003). Any insight or assistance would be greatly appreciated. -Shane
5.no print as user, OK as administrator
Have two printers (Brother MFC-8220 and Konica Minolta 2300 DL), both USB to HP notebook (Vista Home Premium), with similar problem. Work fine as administrator but the Brother prints a blank sheet (Konica gets no response) when trying as a user. HP, Brother, and Konica can not figure it out. Older printers (like Brother 5100 and others have no problem from user side). Thanks for your help (I need a printer)! -- Don Jessup President Pi Pharma, Inc.
