Ventrilo on Windows Vista

If you are using Windows Vista, you will likely need to replace your pesky UAC (User Account Control) with this handy free UAC replacement from Norton (this thing rocks!!)

OR… you can disable the User Account Control (UAC)

1. Go to Start | Control Panel | User Accounts
2. Next, click the “Turn user account control on or off” option. Click continue on the UAC box.
3. Now, uncheck the box next to “Use user account control (UAC) to help protect my computer” and click OK.
4. Restart your computer, and UAC is now disabled. To turn it back on, just do the same, but check the “Use user account control (UAC) to help protect my computer” box and click OK.
