Windows 7: Security Problems

Hey, I just recently update to Seven from Vista, loving it so far, but I have a few problems.



For starters, whenever I play Medieval Total War II, I'm having to run it as an administrator. On Vista, I didn't have to do that; its not a big deal, its just I'd prefer not to. And no matter whatever changes I make to the UAC settings, the prompt keeps coming up asking me whether I want to run it or not. When the game actually runs, the Launcher screen is supposed to contain news from the internet regarding the game; however, it just displays a mysql.connect connection error. So there's white space giving the error where the news should be.

Secondly, I torrent, but for some reason, I am getting no download speed, its only uploading. I am on a college connection so I don't have access to a router or anything. uTorrent tells me that the port is blocked or not forwarded properly, and no matter what port I pick, I get 0 download speed. I have checked the firewall settings, and they seem fine but I could be wrong. Windows Defender is turned off.

If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it. If you need screenshots, I'd be happy to provide them.

just go to game play file , right click on that .. windows appears , go to compaitibility tab and tick on run as administartor,, appply and ok.. done

Yeah, I did that. I'm just baffled as to why I still get UAC notifications about that even when I change the settings.
