IE8 Protected Mode Help

For some reason, IE x86 and IE x64 keep saying that Protected Mode is off, but when I go into the security settings, it says Protected Mode is enabled. What is going on? Here's a screenshot (note: it's hard to see the checkmark next to "Enable Protected Mode, but trust me, it's there):

Do you have UAC turned off?

Oh, I didn't know UAC and Protected Mode are intertwined. I disabled UAC temporarily to install some new icons and didn't turn it back on.

I just turned on UAC and now it's fine. Thanks.

You're Welcome,
I just happen to notice it one time when I had mine off. Glad it was a simple fix.

I'm having this same problem but my UAC is on and at its highest setting. Can't figure this out.

As a matter of fact, I am. That's the problem isn't it? Now, the question is, am I really not in protected mode, or does it just say that I am not because I am running as the hidden administrator?
