If I may recommend a registry cleaner, CCleaner is a free app that does a good job of cleaning up the registry and deleting your temp files. If you use it, make sure you scan and fix the registry twice; it always seems to find additional registry issues after fixing the issues from the first scan.only thing I can think to do now would be to uninstall again then go and make sure there is no folder for it at all and no saved files what so ever then run a registry cleaner to make sure there is nothing there ..
Good advice, IMO. But you'll still have the occassional permission/ownership issues (at least in Windows 7; I skipped the Vista era/error).Or simply disable the UAC completely and be without problems.

But you'll still have the occassional permission/ownership issues (at least in Windows 7; I skipped the Vista era/error).
I have 3 suggestions for Windows 7 users in general (and I'm pretty sure this all works for Windows Vista also):
1. Install any program you trust in folders in the root directory, not the Program Files directory (I have UO in c:\UO, for example). Anything in the Program Files directory is subject to additional permission restrictions (which is honestly usually not a problem, but a major annoyance when it does pop up).
2. Get familiar with the "takeown" and "icacls" commands; unfortunately, you will probably need them sooner or later.
3. Or forget about those 2 commands and Google this word (including quotes): "grantadminfullcontrol" and read the article at MyDigitalLife.
Of course, everything listed above is disabling what Microsoft feels is one of Windows 7's major assets, so only follow my advice if you are comfortable working without a net (a poorly designed net, but a net nonetheless).

"You must be doing something wrong?" When something is not working the way it should, I wouldn't jump and put it on the user when any number of things can go wrong with a Windows PC (and not even be virus or malware related) that can't be fixed without reinstalling Windows from scratch.as far as I know, you don't need to worry about any of that to get UO to function properly. if you don't know what you are doing and you start messing with persmissions you are going to screw stuff up 100% guarantee.
I'm confused why re-installing UO isn't working for you people. you must be doing something wrong or have viruses. run MBAM before you do anything.
Just curious if that is a long sleeve shirt made out of hemp, sprayed with a little water?Nah. I wore my Eco-Friendly flame-resistant (not flamePROOF) suit today
