&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;However, If AECOsim Building Designer V8i needs to coexist on a Microsoft Window 7 Operating System with any previous versions of the building applications it may require the Windows User Access Control (UAC) setting to be set to &amp;ldquo;Never notify&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Not all previous releases of building applications were certified against Windows 7, therefore they may not support User Account Controls. Please be aware that this is the least secure setting and you open your computer to potential security risks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Please consult the &amp;nbsp;Microsoft Windows 7 documentation for more information concerning User Access Control.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
