How to Set Accelerator 3 Software to "Run As an Administrator"
In order for Accelerator to run properly and have all of the appropriate permissions, Accelerator needs to be run in “Administrator” mode. This can be handled a few ways - set to run one-time as an administrator or set to run permanently as an administrator. The recommended method is Method 1.
Method 1:
Run the program (always) as an administrator by default. If you choose this method, this setting only needs to be done one time unless the program is uninstalled and reinstalled.
Step #1. With the Accelerator 3 program CLOSED, Right-click on the Accelerator 3 program shortcut and click "Properties".
This program shortcut is normally placed on the computer desktop during installation. You can also search for the program by using the search tool.

After changing these settings, the UAC (user Account Control) window will be shown whenever you open the Accelerator 3 program.
