Comment on Vista Volume Mixer adds per program volume control by FJ

FJ — Sat, 17 May 2008 08:25:27 +0000

Hmm how can I put a mic device on that mixer list, when I record something even if I have set the volume to 20% at taskbar or controlpanel sound or hd sound icons, as I start recording it always resets the value to 100% messing up my recordings.

This is raising the dead, but what the heck.

IF your admin box is grayed out, you can still set it to run as admin by right clicking the shortcut, going to properties and clicking the advanced button at the bottom of the general tab. From there, click “Run as admin…” and party on.

Thanks for the tip, worked great. Worked with Direct X and two other programs and could not get the name of the video card.

I made these changes in my MS Word software, but my friend says she still cannot open documents that I send to her.

What can I do?

Nobody is arguing semantics. It is important to get the steps right. And the command prompt is a common application to want to run as an admin.

As cheezeweeze said, one possibility is that UAC is disabled. But there are other reasons that the Run This Program As An Administrator command might be disable. These reasons include:

* the program doesn’t require administrative privileges to run. No need to set it if you don’t need it.

* you are not logged in to an administrative account

* or the program is blocked from always running elevated.

wow, I was trying to figure out why the run as administrator option was greyed out on a shortcut to an app i use and I thought this article would be helpful, but it seems like youre all more concerned with running the command prompt as administrator…How about helping with the issue, instead of arguing symantics.

If the “Run this program as an administrator” check box is disabled or greyed out, then UAC is disabled. Re-enabling UAC corrects this.

Comment on Vista: Automate and Schedule Complete PC Backup by Paul

Hi,
I did a complete pc backup of a vista system and tried to duplicate the image to another system of exactly the same model using WinRE. It seemed to be successful but, after restarting the system, it could not boot saying “disk error”. What went wrong?
