vb.net application : getprocesses() gives access denied

my vb.net application that runs fine on XP , 2000 is giving " access denied " error on vista for -> getprocesses(local machine name).

I tried passing the local machine name , IP address but it stills gives the access denied error.

The processes to be returned are from local machine on which the application is running , not for a remote machine.Also the user account on vista is of administrator type.

Any ideas how to get around this

This is the error listing -

Couldn't get process information from remote machine

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Thanks Bruce ,

The access error does not occur when running the application in XP2 compatability mode.

Is there any other solution to this problem

UAC is currently turned off.

Running as administrator doesnt help.

UAC is now turned on and the application is running in XP compatibility mode without error.

Could you let me know which params to use to just get the local user processes.

Also , just wanted to mention that the application was developed on XP with .NET framework 1.1 .

Another concern is , that if I develop my application on Vista with .NET framework 3.0 ,

will they work without a problem on pc's with .NET framework 1.1

Are there any namespaces or procedures i should avoid using

Thanks for your prompt replies....

Acturally with VS 2005 you can query the processes even if you don't run the app in administrator.

The question is, the app is based on .NET framework 1.1 and it can not query the processes even if SP1 is installed.

Is there any other way to get the process information with .NET framework 1.1

We have to update to 2.0
