Currently, when a vistime update is released and the user is running Windows Vista, due to the UAC control you are required to run vistime with administrative privileges so as the vistime updater can be launched.

In the latest release this issue has been resolved, and all new installs are not affected by this issue. However all current users running vistime will need either re-install the vistime application (recommended) or follow the advanced vista resolution procedure.

2. Click on Uninstall
3. Follow through the wizard and click "Finish"
