/f /im not working properly

In my previous post I made a .bat file to forcekill googleearth.exe

he is the code for that

@echo off
taskkill /im googleearth.exe
timeout /t 1 no break
START '' 'C:UsersPERGMDesktopGEActi.kmz'


I then used a .VPS script to hide the cmd screen.

so that it is smooth. Here is the code for that

'HideBat.vbs
CreateObject('Wascript.Shel').Run'Acti.bat' , 0 , True


This is all on Windows 8.

Eveyrything was working perfect until I turned off the PC for a few months. (Other priorities at my job took over my extra time) So I trying to run it now and the .bat file won't do the force kill part of the script. Unless I run as admin, which I did not have to do before. I cannot set the .bat to always run as admin but if I can make a shortcut for then I can. However I cannot get the .vbs to run properly after.

Any ideas? Greatly appreciated.
