Is anyone out there a windows 7 guru?

I <3 my new puter, it's gorgeous and wonderful and awesome...

but the next time it pops up and asks me if I want to allow CoH to change the way my computer works... I may drop kick it out the window.

How do I make it stop that!?!?!?!

it sounds like you have UAC turned on.

Try adjusting the UAC settings

It might also be helpful to setup cox to run as administrator. which can be done of the compatibility setting in properties. however i think there is flag you can get set on the actual updater to keep that active i cant remember all the details right now.. but i will check my win 7 setup at home and let you know my setup.

and yes i agree new puters are the awesomesauce

This was posted somewhere around the forums some time ago, and I was able to get it to work in Vista. The workaround carried over to Windows 7, so I'd cross my fingers about it not being significantly different.

It's a little more technical than just turning off UAC, but it will keep UAC protection on your computer and Windows Security Centre won't bug you about that feature being disabled.

I could've helped, but he is much faster on the forums.
