unable to connect as standard user but Ok as administrator

[alex]

I am running Vista Business and was having no problems using a mobile
broadband USB modem until last week when I stopped being able to connect when
using a standard login, but can still connect when logged in as
administrator. User Account Control is switched off.
Have replaced the modem, uninstalled and reinstalled the software/drivers,
etc etc but it seems to be a Vista problem rather than being related to
either the modem or the ISP software.
Nobody from my ISP, computer manufacturer, or modem manufacturer has any
idea how to fix the problem.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

If you turn UAC on does it work?

YES! Thanks so much. I had been advised to turn off UAC to "fix" another
problem - having a "Wireless Switch Setting Utility" box pop up and ask for
Administrator permission... but 'm much happier to put up with the minor
annoyance of that, now that I can get connected again!

Hi,

Glad it's working and UAC pop-up's are a minor annoyance, but no where near
the annoyance you have just witnessed by turning it off. A lot went into the
devolvement of UAC and it's there for your protection, leave it on. I'll add
your problem to my notes of the ramifications of turning it off can and will
cause. Thanks for posting back.
