I'm not sure why you get that. I have no problem starting VFP 9 in Win 7.

>The UAC is making my life difficult. I can't start VFP without getting the "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer" message. I've tried some workarounds, but they are not working. Is there a way to get VFP - and obviously this applies to other programs, not just VFP - to start without the annoying message?
