PinballX 1.98 and Window 7 x64 UAC

[Fmetz374]

Apologize in advance if this is already documented but I am having issues with the Windows 7 x64 UAC and the PinballX 1.98 executable. Setting the PinballX file properties to "Run As Administrator" still causes the UAC prompt and this is preventing PinballX from auto starting at boot. I have only seen others in this forum solve this issue by moving the UAC security slider to its lowest setting. The problem with this solution is that the Shark Codecs report stability issues with the UAC disabled.

Has anyone successfully been able to run PinballX without the UAC prompt with the default Windows 7 x64 UAC setting?

I have not experienced any issue with the Shark codecs with UAC at minimum settings. Not sure about defaults.

It is noted that the Shark codecs are 100% UAC compatible, and recommend that UAC be enabled when installed. Also run as administrator any time the settings are changed. You may have followed this to the letter, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Thank you for confirming that UAC only needs to be enabled during installation. I will set UAC to it's lowest setting. I was hoping somebody had figured out how to get PinballX working with UAC at the default setting, but I'll run at the lower security setting.
