I still see that allot of people do not understand, or know how to... run programs as administrator under windows Vista.

In Vista just because you are an administrator, does not mean you always run things as an administrator!

  • when i rite click it doesnt say "run as administrator ''  help

  • @aaubball08 This means your UAC is turned off, most likely

  • every time i want to click on something it keeps saying "Choose what program you want to open the file with". even though i have used those programs and nothing like that ever happened. what should i do?

  • @xFIRERUSHx When you pick the program out of the list are you checking the box that says "Always use this program" at the bottom?

    It sounds like somehow your registry is missing the information for some file associations. You could either re-add that information, or if it's fessible re-install the program to reassociate it.

  • im not an admin, i need my dad, or my sis's pass to play "halo". they let me play it, but without thier password, i cant play in multiplayer, u no how to change the compatability so that i can play multiplayer without needing thier password?

  • No way around that without turning off UAC which I higher recommend against doing since it is a key security feature.

    Complain to the folks who make Halo for needing the extra permissions. Hopefully they will take that into account the next time they code a game.
