My computer uses Microsoft Vista, and I'm having trouble working with my site.

The Vista operating system includes a setting called User Access Control, or UAC, which is intended to protect your compute and allow you to perform administrative tasks without having to sign out of your computer or switch users. Unfortunately, UAC can sometimes interact with other programs in unexpected ways, and even cause problems.

By default, Windows Vista's UAC is turned on. When you create your site, SiteBuilder will take this into account when setting up your site folder and files, and you should be able to build and manage your site without problem.

You may encounter problems, however, if you change your UAC setting after you have begun creating your site (if you turn UAC off after beginning your site with it on, or vice versa). Having set up your site to accommodate your original UAC setting, SiteBuilder may not be able to determine the location of your site files, and you could have trouble opening, editing, previewing, or publishing your site.

To fix this issue, you can return your UAC to its status when you began your site, then restart SiteBuilder.

To change your UAC setting:

  1. Click your computer's Start menu and select Control Panel.
  2. Click User Accounts or User Accounts and Family Safety.
  3. Click Turn User Account Control on or off (you may be asked to enter your computer password).
  4. Click the checkbox next to Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer to turn UAC on or off.

  5. UAC selected/turned on

  6. Click OK to save your changes.
  7. Vista may ask you to restart your computer to apply the change.

You should now be able to work with your site in SiteBuilder as usual.
