I've used teamviewer (portable) in an instance where if do anything such as trying to uninstall/install a program or make system modifications it will lock the screen so I can't press or move anything unless the person's whose pc I'm controlling clicks and press Next or Cancel etc... Sending an ctrl-alt-del does not either.

I thought it might have been some sort of security feature but I don't think it is. Ever experienced something like this using Teamviewer? it has only happened on one machine however.
 
Was the person at the other end using a portable version?

They probably had UAC enabled. The other user will always need to interact with the UAC prompts unless TeamViewer_Desktop.exe & TeamViewer_Service.exe have SYSTEM privileges.

Pretty sure you're able to remotely deal with UAC via teamviewer

Only if TV is running with admin/system privileges. TV will request admin rights if the machine is running Vista/7 but it is perfectly happy running with standard privileges if the user clicks 'no'.

UAC would be pretty useless if it allowed an application running with user privileges to elevate permissions without the users approval.

no no, I thought you were implying that UAC cannot be remotely dealt with. Misunderstanding
