'YES' button on UAC prompt is absent.

There are lots of questions on this on line but no answers which actually work.

The problem is that I was trying to fine a way of saving config files in Microsoft FSX. Everytime I got a 'you're not permitted' response. Then an emergency cropped up and I left what I was doing. When I returned it seemed the PC had decided to do its own thing but I now believe it did a windows update.

The result was that whenever I want to do anything the UAC prompt appears asking me if I really want to. The trouble is the 'YES@ button has disappeared and no offered cure works because the UAC Prompt appears when I try - minus the 'Yes' button so the only option is 'NO'!.

I'm STUCK. Does anyone have a solution that really works - I can't even do a system restore.

    Short of a clean install I can't think of anything else that can be done.

    I put the space in, neilpzz - you were correct - but it hasn't helped a lot.

    I have progressed farther down rhe list of instructions to :

    1. Reboot the PC and use the built-in administrator to troubleshoot the issue.
    2. Press Windows + R keys and enter netplwiz.

    It results in the same problem, the UAC prompt that comes up has no yes button. Seem to be going round and round in circles.

    I tried to install a mirror image but it wont let me, I even tried to reinstall windows but it won't allow that (no red button tou see)!
