When you say UAC runs, do you mean you get a prompt even though the icon doesn't show the shield, or no prompt and not shield?

Re: Does your Quake 4 need permission to run on vista?
Quake 4 will prompt for permission if you have Punkbuster installed. If you only play single player and don't install PB, you won't get the prompt.

Re: Does your Quake 4 need permission to run on vista?
Did some playing around to find out why Quake 4 prompts for permission and I found that if you right click on whatever Q4 icon you use to launch it, select Properties, click on Advanced (on the Shortcut tab), and uncheck "Run as Administrator" it won't issue the prompt.
At least, that's what works for me. ymmv.

That's strange, or maybe i'm strange, or both  ... I though that when you check run as admin you would be less likely to get the prompt.

Re: Does your Quake 4 need permission to run on vista?
My shortcut is just as it came with the game
Don't need to go to compatibility, I don't see a shield, I don't get a dialogue from UAC, it just runs as it did on XP (patch 1.3)

Re: Does your Quake 4 need permission to run on vista?
I'm pretty sure it does this because Quake4 goes out and pings ID's server with your key every time you start the game. In XP you don't really see it but it would light up my security. I got so sick of it I blocked the server in my host file a long time ago. I think R6V does this also. That's what your granting permission for. I haven't even installed it in vista yet.
