uac elevation

[charliecartwright]

when l launch bf2 a window comes up saying xfire needs UAC elevation to play this game. Very frustrating can someone please explain what UAC elevation is and what l need to do to fix this problem.

[unrealcalibur]

i think thats user account control. just disable it, its annoying anyway. To do so, go to the control panel. then go to user accounts. in there there is a option called, "turn user account control on or off." uncheck "use uac.."

[charliecartwright]

thankyou unrealcalibur for helping me out, l am learning something new everyday about computers. It worked and l was able to play bf2 found it hard to get off. I manage 2 hrs sleep b4 l went to work the next day.
I am glad xfire provides this service so that nice helpful people like yourself can help dip****s like me.lol.

I have UAC on and I don't have any problems when I play, a window pops up for xfire, I click ok and I'm done. Besides UAC is supposed to prevent harmful stuff from getting installed on your computer

Heres 2 methods: first method worked for me:

Method 1: Disable and Turnoff UAC in Windows 7 from Control Panel
1. Access User Control Panel from Start Menu -> Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Account

2. Click on
User Account Control settings link.

3. Move the Slider to Never Notify

4. Click OK to make the change effective

5. Reboot.

Method 2: Disable UAC with Registry Editor (Regedit) in Windows 7
1. Run Registry Editor (RegEdit) by typing regedit at command prompt or at startmenu->run

2. Locate following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

3. Locate the following REG_DWORD value:

EnableLUA

4. Set the value of EnableLUA to 0.

Optional step to suppress UAC permission prompt dialog,

1. Locate the following REG_DWORD value:

ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin

2. Set the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin to 0 (optional).

Now Exit from Registry Editor and Restart the computer.

I'm not sure if this is a good solution or not but it's what I did. I right clicked on Xfire, went to properties found in one of the tabs "run as administrator" and clicked the toggle for it.

since then, no more UAC issues.

hey guys... just go on Xfire/right click/properties/compatibility/run this program in compatibility mode/winx sp2... well done

[stuffstuff000]

Uhhhh..... I agree, it does not seem like a good thing to do..... But it is my only choice. I tried everything I could that would NOT mess up my computer, but I have a feeling setting to administrator will byte me in the back in the future......

[no1seriouslly]

Run as an administrator guys...
