Ramblings on IT

I did the upgrade this past Sunday, and all seemed to work without a hitch, until I started getting errors trying to launch things like Device Manager, or ‘run as admin’ on command prompt.

After a couple days of hair pulling, and posting to the Partner newsgroups for help (basically telling me to do a clean install), I finally ran across a clue:

Which reminded me I had installed Norton’s “UAC Tool” a while ago (a Godsend in Vista), but had Windows 7 completely befuddled for any app I had ‘UAC white-listed’ with the Norton tool.

Solution is to boot into safe-mode, uninstall the tool, and reboot.

Buh-bye Vista, it’s been swell. I think I might miss Tinker.
