gametap uac s

All,
I am trying to install GameTap, (from http://www.gametap.com/reinstall), when I dbl-click the setup icon, the screen looks like it's installing normally, but then part of the screen 'squishes to the left' and greys out. It sort of looks like the UAC, but it's confined to a rectangle. The setup program becomes unresponsive.
Also, when the UAC interrupts my process the whole screen greys out and 'squishes to the left'. By what I am reading this is not normal. Could this be a graphical problem?
Thanks,

What do the makers of the product and its support personnel have to say about the issue?

I'm actually having the same probs... Already disabled that User Control thing and it's install still locks right up as soon as it starts running installshield. I even let it sit there for a few minutes to see if it would unfreeze itself to no luck. I end up closing the program down with the usual C A D keys... I've emailed the good folks at Gametap, but haven't heard back yet.... Anybody else having this prob??
