Vista keeps popping up "Liveupdate.exe" requests

[Broccoli]

Hi all!

As the title says, my Vista Home Premium installation keeps asking for permission to launch Liveupdate. It only seems to happen when I have a USB Skype telephone adapter or USB Fusion video capture device plugged in. If I yes it to death and sign away my 1st born, it goes away, but all this "requesting permission" stuff is driving me nuts! I had to setup my account as an Admin rather than a User since at least that way I don't have to enter a password each time these requests come in.
My question is..... is there a policy change or setting that I am missing that will make these requests go away? Also, if there is a way to stop the constant "allow or deny" requests........... I'll buy the biggest round at the ST&T Xmas party

Thank you in advance y'all!

I should add that both devices seem to function as they should once the yessing to death is complete.

Hi, type in (the search box) msconfig>hit the enter key>go to tools>and click on disable UAC which will stop all those anoying permissions.

I was almost ready to s**tcan Vista and go back to my trusty XP installation because of this simple (but VERY infuriating) reason. I'll stick with it a bit longer until I find something else in Vista annoys the hell out of me. For now though, I'm VERY happy!

Thank you!!!
