    i have the exact same problem in vista having just tried to upgrade to f.25!!! i've turned off UAC, and i've basically tried everything to remedy it but to no avail!

    i started to wonder if it had anything to do with 1 of the services that i've disabled but i don't know which one would affect admin privileges!!

    it looks like it may be a problem with the bios upgrade
