Click on the Vista start button, under the ‘start search’ box, type in MSCONFIG and hit enter. A box should appear as below. Click on the ‘Tools’ tab and click on ‘Disable UAC’ then click on ‘Launch’. See red arrows. You will need to reboot/restart your machine. Proview modules should work normally after the reboot.
