    I need to run some of my programs as administrator and right click to set it to always run as admin but that option is faded out

    I'm on an Administrator account and its the only account on the computer apart from Guest

    Its a new Dell comp on Vista Home fwiw

    Thats an odd one... Can you permanently make it an admin program? (right click on icon -> properties -> advanced -> Check box for run as administrator)

    run a command prompt as admin cmd
    then drag/drop the program there
    copy the command line text so you can reuse it
    then you will see if there is any benefit in running from the command and can setup a batch file to run the app

    but mukki is probably right and it's a wild goose chase

    Have you got UAC turned off? In the User account options?
