Windows 7 - Running everything as administrator...why?

| | Running everything as administrator...why? Finally got x64 RTM installed tonight and everything worked out...mostly. My problem is that I have to run almost everything as an administrator. If I don't, the app will open briefly, then close. But it stays running under just a few megs of RAM in the Task Manager. Happens on Firefox, IE 8 x86, Thunderbird, Cisco AnyConnect, etc. I tried reinstalling all these apps by running installers as administrator, compatibility mode, etc. Still requires me to run every app as an admin. And yes, my account is an administrator. |

| | Makes no difference. I'm wondering if something is screwed up with this profile -- will create a new one and see if that fixes it. |
