Disable User Account Control

User Account Control (UAC) seems to cause more problems than it is worth. In particular you are able to avoid a number of issues with DS Game Maker by disabling it.

On Windows Vista

Open up Control Panel, and type in "UAC" into the search box. You'll see a link for "Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off":

UAC Step 1 (Vista

On the next screen you should uncheck the box for "Use User Account Control (UAC)", and then click on the OK button.

UAC Step 2 (Vista)

You'll need to reboot your computer before the changes take effect, but you should be all done with annoying prompts.

Windows 7

Windows 7 makes it much easier to deal with UAC settings. Just type UAC into the Start Menu or Control Panel search box:

UAC Step 1 (7)

You can adjust the slider for the notification frequency. You should set it to 'Never Notify'.
