Well I finaly did it. I made 1,000 posts. When I first came to TVF, I was under the name cool_chris_1990. Then I changed it a few months later. I came a long way from my very first post:

I have an intermittent problem. Several programs on my start menu won't start. The system hourglasses, and then - nothing. I found that if I can use the option 'run as administrator', that the programs will start. There is an option on the properties of the shortcut that would allow me to 'run as administrator', but that option is not enabled. For programs like excel, I have to use windows explorer to find the executable under program files, and 'run as administrator' there.

I find this a very frustrating performance with this operating system.

Is there any way to put the 'run as administrator option' for the shortcut.

Ok, I heard that the only hardware that is not allowed to be chaged was the mother board. Is this true?Or will the OEM be invalid if you change the memory or the hard drive for example.
