Bob, Dale, Matt, et alia,

I bought my brothers Vista Basic notebook when he got a W7 box.

At first UAC made me think: Why is it asking me IF I Want To Do This?
Now I just read the UAC screen and tell it O.K. and do what I wanted
to do.

I can't remember if UAC ever has popped up on its own because it saw
something wanting to be changed and asking if it was O.K. to allow.
Therefore I feel like it is a good feature.
I've adjusted to UAC appearing on the screen, and just thinking about
it, every program I use expects me to do things THEIR WAY.

 BK>  One problem can be lack of drivers for an older system.

Or the Company isn't in business anymore to issue any newer drivers.
