GONeale's questions

This problem lies within a relatively fresh x64 Windows 7 install ~4 weeks, but is also a problem I have seen on Windows Vista machines (x86 versions).

Since the other day, any programs attempted to be launched via right clicking on a shortcut (.lnk)'s context menu and pressing -> "Run As Administrator" for instance, in the Quick Launch/Jump List in Windows 7 has failed, screen has not dimmed, no UAC popup. In fact the program does not even load. There is no way around this unless I use the shortcut version from "All Programs" which appears to work, very strange? I have performed no major software installs, nothing out of the ordinary.

Has anybody encountered this or know what would be causing it?

Here's an example of somebody else experiencing this problem in Vista with no solution: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-general/131918-strange-run-administrator-problem.html
and I believe this problem is related, I also cannot right click -> "Manage" on my computer): http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-support/5501-run-administrator-broken.html

I am running the latest version of Avira AntiVir Virus Scanner and pretty concious of what I download, I don't think it is a virus, nor do I believe it is due to the RC Version of Windows 7, because I have seen the problem across multiple Operating Systems versions.

Thanks guys.

How can you disable TeamViewer from using/reserving port 80? I am certain in the previous version <v4.1.6 there used to be a radio button option in "options" which disabled it from needing it, but now I cannot find it.

Is port 80 serisouly required by this remote desktop app? It is conflicting with IIS on our development server and becoming a real pain.

Thanks all.

I am running a copy of SQL Server 2008 Standard and trying to setup a new user login for access to a DB through a web app.

1. I am using Security -> Logins -> Add login to create the user.
2. Login name and password is specified
3. Default database has been selected
4. I am using a "public" server role
5. I am mapping to the DB I require in "User Mapping" and selected it as "db_owner"

...The login/password combination is repeatedly failing on the app, and even when I try to login through SQL Server Management Studio I am receiving:

Login failed for user 'username'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)

What could be the cause of this?

I would like to hear community opinions on reasons to switch, to utilise, or when one should consider a x64 platform. Plus are there any additional benefits of running 64-bit Windows 7? over 64-bit Pre-Win7 OS's?
