    Default Run as administrator problem

    I noticed if you have this option checked you can't drag and drop to replace photos

    There should be no need to install or run X5 as administrator under Vista or Windows7 as a normal user.
    The check box you show is greyed out on my systems.

    Are you logged in as a restricted user?

    I am the administrator of our computer.
    I checked run as administrator because I didn't want my kids messing with my settings. It's not greyed out on my system running Vista.

    That's normal for all applications under UAC. You can't drag and drop from a program at a low security level (eg. a Windows Explorer with normal privileges) to a program with a higher security level (Xtreme running as admin).

    This is a deliberate security measure in Vista, to prevent a variety of attacks where low-trust applications exploit broken message-handling in higher-trust applications to escalate their privileges.
