AIM v UAC: It Works!
Instead of updating an old blog post, I decided to write a new post regarding the steps outlined in resolving an issue with the error "Server Execution Failed" in Vista. Before I start, I think it would be best to mention that when I was having this issue, I had trouble accessing Google Desktop's Options page. As many would know, the Options page pointed to the localhost. It would take about 3-5 minutes before the page loads and another 3-5 minutes to save the changes. I tried reinstalling Google Desktop thinking it was just a bad installation. That was before I found the article suspecting of UAC being turned off when installing AIM that caused this issue. I would've followed the steps to the letter, but I thought this might happen again if I did this in normal mode. I decided to boot first in Safe Mode, and do all I need to do from there. Better safe than sorry.
