hey guys

i recently upgraded to windows 8, and for some reason within the control panel, i click any options that have the admin shield icon next to them, when i click them, absolutely nothing happens

and i cant delete any folders from programdata/program files/x86 because it "requires administration action"

Also when removing items from the "uninstall program list" it requires administration action, i say yes, and nothing happens

Yet, running program's as admin from the desktop, seems to work
 
Solution
after doing alot of research , i discovered that the AMD Removal Tool from AMD themselve's for some odd reason remove's some necessary regsitry entry's and file's towards the user's administration right's in window's 8

The tool hasn't been updated in a long time and i'm not sure AMD are even aware of the issue
