Hi!
I recently started having problems with UAC. Whenever I try to run, install or change anything, the UAC screen pops up, but when I click Yes the UAC pop-up goes away, but the screen stays dark and nothing happens. I can't disable UAC either, since it requiers the admins permission. I am logged in with an admin account since it's the only account on my PC. Please help me! Sorry if it has already been answered.

Try a different (maybe older) videodrivers.

If that fails, try this UAC level:

I did not quite understand your situation. I think that I got it now.

Don't let the title of the tutorial below throw you off. You might be able to use those steps to edit the registry to turn off the UAC for a bit http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/85657-password-reset.html

Well I think that I'm in a very bad situation. I looked at the guide, but I don't have a Windows disk nor do I have a disk reader in my PC. I tried opening the Registry Editor by pressing the Start button, typing in Run and then typed in regedit, but it requires admins permission too.

I have fixed the problem by going into Safe Mode and disabling UAC. Thank You UsernameIssues for your help!

Wish I had thought of that :-)

You can now change videodrivers.

Don't surf the Internet too much with the UAC turned off.
