Fences running but I keep getting UAC interrupts

from Stardock Forums

Hi all,

running Windows 7 Enterprise - 64 bit

had problems getting Fences running - multiple reinstalls & reboots and running installer as admin etc. Eventually got fences running when I set compatibility mode to Windows 7 - even though I'm running Win7!?!?!?

However I keep getting UAC popping up asking me the same old question "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?"

This happens randomly when I'm working on other apps, also when I try to open fences config.

I say "yes" and things carry on.

 

I'd like to stop this from happening but can't figure out why it is happening.

I can't (local policy) turn off UAC.

 

help!?!?!?

 

cheers
Phil

I have a feeling this might be relevant to the cause.

Thanks for the replies.

Technically I can switch off UAC, just not allowed to for security reasons.

Although I can't see why this should be a problem once Fences is installed & running - what would it be trying to do that required authorisation while I'm in Word or Excel?

 

emailed support now.

Ah.  I was thinking there were local or group policies in place, which could conflict with Fences operations.
