Re: Vista, new install, x server does not start, startxwin.bat missing

I think, as I said before, that this is Vista 'functioning as designed'. If you set an application to run as administrator, you will get a UAC prompt.

If you tell us what the problems are with the programs which cause them to require administrator privileges, then perhaps we can fix them.
