Here's an odd problem I'm having. Whenever I uninstall something I bought from GOG, my system wipes admin support for all of my GOG games clean, and I have to go back in to each one and manually click "run as admin" to get it to work again. It's not that much of an issue with only two or three games, but I think almost a third of my collection requires admin compatability to run in some way. Is this issue happening with anyone else?

It's a bug in some of the GOG installers, that wipes all compatibility settings when the uninstaller is run. The only suggetsion I have is backing up the whole compatibility registry key, running the uninstaller, then restoring it.

Bug in the installers.

On the bright side, at least it deletes that more-or-less useless key and not something of critical importance OS-wise.

Well, that sucks. I was hoping it was something easy to fix with my machine, but it sounds like a GOG problem. I'm guessing it's a tricky fix, since I don't think they patched it out of the 2.0 installers.
