I have recently started to transition to Vista (dual booting with XP
Pro). One problem that I'm having is that my ergo mouse (Evoluent
Vertical Mouse) uses a driver that runs as an application, not a
service (I think). It has a tray icon, but that can be hidden via the
options. The problem is that every time it's software runs at startup
(the application launches via the Startup start menu group) the UAC
kicks off and ask for consent for it to run. Obviously this is very
annoying. Normally you only see this when you install something or if
you try to access a high level admin type tool, as I understand it.
Is there some way to permanently consent to this application running
at startup? If the application isn't running the mouse doesn't
function properly. I tried using the compatibility option to have it
run with administrator privileges, but that didn't make any
difference.

I'm very computer literate, but Vista is a strange beast.

Thanks.
