Nah - that would make too much sense…..

Thanks - this seems to do the trick. As usual MSFT help was not helpful but Google, and you, came thru…

I’ve been running Vista on my Inspiron 9300 a while now and despite the usual early adopter pains of periodic hangs and crashes I find it to be ok for the most part. (Thankfully my sound card is supported)

Here’s another strange one that Vista users might find useful - have you tried finding the Send To menu yet?

$SYSTEMDISK:\Users\$USERID\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows

That took me a while to track down!

after running the command prompt as Admin, it still would say “The requested operation requires elevation.”

any solution?

Linux/OS X?

Never come across it not working! Anyone else?

I did that and it still is not working for me!

Yea! I’m using a Vista laptop as my network utility computer and now I can get my NMAP to work. Does anyone know if there’s a way to setup an account on Vista so every time a command prompt is opened it will automatically run with administrative privileges?

Thanks,

To always have a command prompt in admin mode, I created a shortcut to cmd on my desktop. Enter the properties for the shortcut, under the shortcut tab click Advanced button, choose option to run as Administrator.

This did help in a tight situation!!!

I tried, like Forrest Fouraker, and I still can’t get it to work.

Cheers, that did the tick!

Hey Guys,

This discussion was helpful… i was able to get across another vista bump
Thanks

g8 it all works now thanks!! pls let us know if there are any other complicated path for other applications too!!

im trying to install an update and it says the elevation error, anyone know solution?

Thanks for the fix, saved me with a customer
Helped get over one of the many bumps when trying to fix probs running on a Windows Vista system ;-(
I vote for Windows XP!

thanks! (should have never upgraded to Vista…sigh.

I can run the command prompt with no problem, but it won’t let me run netstat with options… ie netstat -b

I get the Requested Operation Requires Elevation message.

I find this odd as my account is the administrator account. Why would I need to run somethine as administrator when I am the administrator, that makes zero sense.

I can’t talk to my other XP machines. I was able to and did ultil I tried to install HyperTerminal and all went to pot. I got internet connection back for all 3 machines but I have yet been able to see directors on the onter machines altho Printer sharing works. I am hoping someone can tell me what to do.

I’m using a Linksys WRT54GS router.

I want to thank you for your help. There are great folks on the internet and I met a friend half way across the world. Thank you.
I made a bad mistake I was that desperate. Right after I pressed the enter key my stomach gave a lurch and then I looked at what I had done and realized I really messed up, real bad.

I will never be able to thank you for what you did for me a stranger, a dumb one, border line idiot, but still a stranger.

Thanks. This has been driving me crazy. MS really need lessons on how to use Plain English!
Cheers,

Anne, that’s the point - if it was in plain English they would not be able to copyright it. Oh, wait…

when im trying to run the two batch file, it was run fine, but i think only for LAN adapter only. i would sugest that i would also works on wireless LAN adapters because when i try to run the batch it changed only on LAN settings not for wireless LAN settings.

Works for me! Thanks.
