User Account Control failure

[P.A.]

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium

As required to use administrator privilege from standard user account, enter said password for the Admin account; UAC doesn't launch the program it just stalls or leaves the Start menu unusable.

I have to use the windows run prompt to logoff, other operations work just fine.

You should be able to run a program with admin privileges by responding to the prompt.

If this is only one program, what is the program?

Do you have Windows 7 SP1 installed?

Is the system up-to-date with patches and hotfixes?

Thank You. I'm a frequent user of Winkey+L

It's any program, but I need intermittent administrator access with the command prompt. And I always update my system, when ever patches become available; SP1 was already in the OEM drive image, although it doesn't say in the system description panel.

I should probably make a video...

Yeah, where's that device that can read your mind, while you think about words as seen in the movie Firefox.

If you right click on the file do you get option to run as administrator? Have you tried running "sfc/ scannow" in an administrator command prompt to check for file corruption?

To run an elevated command prompt go to the Start Orb, type cmd in the search box, right click on cmd.exe in the search results and select "run as administrator".

Anywhere there's a shield icon on a button to click for elevating task or command privilege this doesn't work. UAC is at Microsoft default setting.

It restored some obscure file and "fixed" my custom imageres.dll, still fails.

Here's the error message I get while logging out; I'd expect this from a Zombie NT Virtual Machine, not 64 bit Windows 7.

Have you run a thorough malware scan?

Was this meant for an other person?

Another fine example of where our member's vigilance has paid off by getting rid of one more spammer. Thanks Gerald.
