Plans for PT3 working with UAC enabled

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but in looking for a solution to this problem, I came across this article that worked for my Windows 7 system: http://tinyurl.com/cvey77o.

You should no longer need UAC enabled to run PT3, as long as you configure it to always Run As Administrator.

Hey WhiteRider... I was wondering the same thing. I have Tuneup Utilities program and it alerts me to this "security alert" that my UAC is turned off. I had to backup my PT3 database to transfer as I had recently purchased a new laptop computer. I had to reinstall my backup to my new computer and read on the help forums here that I should have UAC turned off. I have ever since left it off and the warning message I receive in TuneUp drives me nuts. So now the situation is that I can re enable UAC to turn on? How do I configure it to always Run as Administrator?

Yes, you do not need UAC turned off. The following tutorial explains how to configure "Run as Administrator":
ATTENTION: Windows VISTA and 7 users, you must read this...

Firstly, I fixed the typo in my previous reply - you do not need UAC turned off.

Also, I'm told that PT3 now forces Run As Administrator, so you do not actually need to configure the shortcut.
You DO need to run your poker site(s) software that way, though.

Awesome... thanks!

Now I can finally switch UAC back on and forego all the warning messages in TuneUp.
