Indy Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hi, I´m running Vistax86 SP1 (.NET 3.5 SP1), PDN 3.35 I was running PDN as admin with a blank image and clicked "Edit" in Windows Explorer Shell on a PNG. PDN came in front, but the image did not open, this doesn´t happen if I don´t run PDN as admin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabye a blank image which is the same resolution as PDN's default? :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 The solution is to not run Paint.NET as admin. What you are seeing is normal and correct behavior -- Explorer is running at normal privilege and as such cannot send messages to a higher privilege process.

Indy Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Thanks. Maybe I will deactivate the UAC, I think the problem should be gone than. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Why would you deactivate UAC? That's the wrong solution. If anything just disable the UAC prompts. That's what I've done on my system. Plus, why would you need to run Paint.NET as admin anyway?

Indy Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Because I need to be able to save in %program files% and because I recognized some Problems when processes are virtualized and when they are running with admin privileges, they aren´t.

Rick Brewster Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Paint.NET doesn't run with file/registry virtualization. It has a manifest which tells Windows not to do that.
