MarketWarrior and Windows Vista

Windows Vista has a feature named "User Account Control" (UAC). This UAC feature can prevent MarketWarrior from connecting to eSignal. In some cases the problem can be solved by simply turning off the UAC. In other casses the eSignal and MarketWarrior program must be uninstalled and reinstalled while the UAC is off. Below are the step by step instructions for turning off the UAC.
