Version 1.2.0

• A4: We recommend Method 1 in Chapter 12 to un-install the driver. If system still doesn’t restart

automatically, it is highly recommended to restart manually.

• Q5

: In Windows Vista, I am getting an “elevation prompt” of the administrator permission each

time I perform any new driver installation/un-installation or running any new application. Why?

• A5: Windows Vista/Win 7 have added a new Security Feature called as “UAC (User Account

Control)”. So, in such OS, if

UAC has been turned on (refer to Appendix) then you will get an

“elevation prompt” of the administrator permission each time you perform any new driver

installation/un-installation like follows. In that case, Press Allow button and continue your driver

installation/un-installation.

In general, with “Administrator Approval Mode”, Windows Vista/Win 7 will run most applications

with standard user permissions even if the user is an administrator. If a user wishes to run a

program that requires administrator permissions, they must give consent through a User Account

Control prompt.
