Hi, I'm using windows vista and whenever I open setup files (specifically game installers), it takes a long time to open (about 20 minutes or so). It will hang for a while then the asking for permission begins after 20 mins.

Can anyone help me with this? Why is it like that? Also, what can I do >

What happens is that Windows scans all the files packed in the installer and associated with it, to determine the behaviour of the program, before installing.

I agree that it takes way to long assumably within a time that is comparable to the actual installprocess.

It is essential for UAC to work. It enhances your security. You can disable UAC completely. That doesnt enhance your security.
