Success!
Before deleting the profile, i exported it.
Now the 3 machines with problems on that one account are working well.
UAC is working, Network Center is ok, updating ok.
i think i will not play around anymore with UAC.
it's a standard feature of Vista,
and maybe it's just meant to work that way.
i only hope they can make it less obtrusive.
Linux and OSX only ask for credentials, i'll like it more that way.
no dimming of the screen, no sounds, no extra questions.
Thank you folks.
