What should I do with this window that keeps popping up. "Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer" If I turn it off it looks like I will be in all sorts of trouble.? LOL. Where do you guys run this notice.?

What are User Account Control settings?

When should I allow programs to make changes to my computer?

That notice usually only pops up when installing or starting open source programs or one from a software vendor that Microsoft doesn't officially approve of..IMO, kind of a despicable practice on microsoft's part to use the UAC to attempt to scare people into not using perfectly safe applications, but I would advise not turning off UAC. If you trust the program you're running and you've used it before, just allow it to run
