A. User Account Control is turned off or on in the User Accounts section of the Windows Control Panel. When turned on, Windows Vista/7 will operate in a more secure mode and prompt you whenever a system change is made, and amongst other things will also store your PetLinx database in a different location. If you turn UAC off or on, you will need to move the PetLinx database to the new location that Windows Vista/7 uses. This is easiest done by taking a backup of the PetLinx database using the PetLinx Backup and Restore program before you turn UAC off or on, then turn UAC off or on as required, then restore your backup using the PetLinx Backup and Restore program again.
