I must be the only one that never had any porb getting vista to do anything.

Anyways i just disabled UAC opened control panel search UAC disabled it. When i first got my laptop. Then i ran cmd prompt made sure to right click and run as administrator ran command
net user administrator /active:yes
logged off and used the true administrator account on Vista deleted the other account never found vista a bother.
I have ass for brains so,
even when I shit I'm droping knowledge.

You probably need to run either the installer or the actually sc exe with administrator privileges. Right click the .exe and say "run as administrator"

You have Vista enterprise or profesional? because i think that if you do you can ask for a downgrade from microsoft (providing its original and you have the product key).

Not sure but is DEP a problem? If so try:

+ Show Spoiler +

Data Execution Prevention is a security feature that can be a bit of a pain at times. Often things will simply appear not to run at all; hopefully you will notice a bubble from the taskbar letting you know that DEP is the cause. If Vista (and actually this has been around since Windows Server 2003) sees that a process is being spawned that "could" be unwanted, DEP shuts it down. This is especially common in some application installations: if a Windows Installer setup (MSI) calls an executable in Vista, DEP could very well put a stop to it. If you are trying to run an installation or other executable being stopped by DEP, it could save you some trouble so turn it off while you attempt to give it another shot…

Run a command prompt as administrator. From the start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator". From here you can use the following command to disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) with the following command:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

Keeping your command prompt open, run your setup or other process being stopped by DEP. Then, to turn it back on again, do the same and run the following:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn


Got this from http://www.realtime-vista.com/administration/2007/04/disabling_data_execution_preve.htm

One of the comments says that "bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn" is all that's necessary and that you don't need "{current}". Not sure what the difference is.

Also, turn off UAC in Control Panel, it's such a huge pain in the ass.
