Fixed
Since raising this issue, I decided to run Hoster in XP SP3 Compatibility Mode because it got rid of the annoying error message.
However, today after hearing back from MTU Support that there must be another program on my PC causing the problem, I decided to revert back to launching Hoster in normal mode and to reinstate the UAC default mode. Sure enough, when launching Hoster I got both the UAC permission to launch Hoster.exe message and the Hoster 'UAC is not turned off' message.
I then closed Hoster and again turned off UAC. This time when turning off UAC it launched the UAC permission message. I don't recall seeing this before on any of the other occasions when I turned off UAC.
Long story short, I acknowledged the UAC ‘permission’ message and then shut down my PC. Upon rebooting and re-launching Hoster the 'UAC is not turned off' message has gone/vanished - thank goodness. Go figure!
Whether this ‘fix’ is coincidental to my also running other Windows 7 troubleshooting wizards I don’t know. I’m just happy that it’s all fixed. It definitely was not a Hoster issue; there must have been a rogue windows or hardware setting on my PC following my upgrading the OS from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate.
Thanks again for your help in particular Dale.
