I am trying to install a HP printer on Vista Ultimate.I finally got the compatibility for to XP but now the install says I don't have administrator rights. The user account is an administrtor user account. Tried rebooting, short of booting computer out the door, but I can not get the HP printer to install as I can't get past this hurdle. Auto run will not work and will not install from the run setup.exe. Will not allow this either.

Trying to get "AMD Overdrive" to run on my computer. No matter how many times I try to add permissions under the main exe, I get "AOD failed to start. Please make sure run it as administrator." It doesnt matter if I shift+right click and "run as" administrator. Anyone know of a thing that could be keeping me? Been trying to get it to work for a week or 2

We're on a network and all the pcs only have one user and therefore I am administrator of all. One pc now won't let me access stuff. When I try and go into Windows defender or Manage windows start up programs, a window comes up saying "contact Administrator". ?? Can't access folder options either. There's a virus on it (darn kids) which I'm trying to get rid of (despite having McAfee, Windows defender, Ad-Aware and Stinger). Could it be the virus causing this? which is hard of course to get rid of if I can't have any access to security files.

I have Vista and I accidentally put my name in as the administrator when I setup my laptop, for work purposes it's supposed to be named "Administrator". I try to change it but I get a message "The specified account name is not valid, because there is already an account with that name. Please try a different name". Is there a way to change it?

I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition. I am the only user on my computer. I am the administrator. I have UAC disabled. When running certain programs however I get a message telling me that I need to be Administrator to run this program. It has happened a couple of times but I haven't really paid attention to it due to it being resolved automatically or me not really caring. I try the "run as administrator" option, but it doesn't change anything.

I'm receivng numerous messages that tell me I'm not logged on to my computer as the Administrator. The message says the installer requires the user to be logged on as Administrator and that I'm supposed to do this. This problem reoccurred several days ago and this message pops up every 5 minutes or so. Additionally, it affects outgoing mail as well by either not sending it immediately or delaying sending it. I'm the only person using this computer. I am using Windows Vista anmd this happened a lot for a while, then stopped, then started agin. but this time it seems to have returned with a vengance.

I have tried reading the other help questions on this and tried doing some of
the answers with no success.
All my windows updates are failing. I'm being told I have to be the
administrator to go in and delete corrupted logs/ etc. I am the
administrator on this computer but I did not set up any password. Most
common windows update error is Windows Update error 8007000b.
When I have the command prompt up it shows users
ose. I have tried right
clicking and do not get administrator in the drop down menu. I type in
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:. and an reply comes back that I must
run it as a administator. I have also tried keying this in just at the c:
prompt. I see that I am the administrator of the computer so is that why I
do not get the drop menu on the right click to show administrator?
The other problem I have is I can't get manual defrag to work. I just
erased 11 gigs out of my recycle bin and wanted to run defrag. I'm almost
ready to go out and buy a 3rd party defrag..

I built and set up a new PC with Vista and all is well. I have adminstrator privileges but, out of curiosity, how would I log in as the Adminstrator? In XP I hit F8 when booting and in Safe Mode I could log is as the Adminstrator or any other user. In Vista Adminstrator is not an option in Safe Mode. I don't know that I have a need for this, but I did set up an Adminstrator account, and would like to test it.

Is there a way to set Vista Home Premium x64 to, by default, always "run as administrator" when simply double clicking on a application or shortcut? Or, to disable whatever security feature prevents certain applications from running properly, when not ran as administrator?

Ran sfc /scannow as an administrator. Received the following message when it finished. Verification 100% complete. Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.log, etc. Copied the CBS.log to my desktop and opened it. It was quite large so I deleted all entries except those made today. I didn't really know what I was looking for, but there didn't appear to be any anomalies. The last two lines in the log were:
2009-05-13 09:18:11, Info CSI 000001cd [SR] Verify and Repair Transaction completed. All files and registry keys listed in this transaction have been successfully repaired. 2009-05-13 09:19:45, Info CBS Scavenge: Package store indicates there is no component to scavenge, skipping. These two lines seem to be saying that all is well and that it was not necessary to find any replacement files.

hi to all and tnx in advance for support,i've installed 4Gb RAM on my Notebook Toshiba with Intel T5500,Northbridge Intel i945PM rev. 03 and Southbridge Intel 82801GHM (ICH7-M
DH) rev. 02.
After memory update i've installed *Vista x64 Ultimate SP1* and System Info under Control Panel says 4,00Gb Ram Memory but *Task Manager says only 3069Mb Physical Memory*.
Moreover i ran msconfig and deselected MaxMemory flag in Advanced Options under Boot tab (as i saw somewhere on internet )but nothing changes. The bios recognizes correctly 4Gb, and programs like CPU-Z recognizes 4Gb, but msinfo says:
- - Installed Physical Memory (RAM): *4Gb*-
- - Total Physical Memory: *3Gb*.-

windows vista, I should have 3 accounts in my laptop, the original adminstrator, guest which is off, and another one with adminstrator rights, when I try to use the last one to remove any software, it just let me know that I need administrator right to download or remove. How can I restore the original administrator account?

I have heard of the "administrator password" for a super-administrator.
But I have never "set" the "administrator password" or "super admin
password".
I do, however, have a user account with admin privileges that I set a
password to.
Is that the same thing? Does my creating a user account with admin
privileges and password make the password for the super-admin the same, or
will the vista admin password still remain blank?
I'm wondering if this is the case, if a hacker tried to break into my system
to grab files, if I never set the administrator/super-admin password, does
that mean there is none, and they just walk right in,
or does it default to the password I have on my user account with admin
privileges?

I've got a program that will only work properly if I use "Run as Administrator", despite being logged in as an administrator. Is there a way I can fix this, so it runs normally? PS, I know I shouldn't be running as administrator, but this is a PC that is rarely connected to the Internet, and used for two or three specific tasks.

Judging from the the explanations & helpfiles for file backup, a standard user should be able to call up the backup and restore center, click on "back up files" and then be prompted (by UAC?) for administrative rights. Is that correct?
However, when I try this, I get an error message that states "You need to be an administrator to run backup" - and requires me to use fast user switching or log-off / log-on as administrator to run the backup. Am I doing sth wrong that I get this message & have to go through the extra step of switching log-ons?

The full message I am receiving is "You are not currently logged into your computer as an Administrator. This installer requires that the user be logged in as an Administrator. Please log out and log back in as an Administrator and then restart the installer." I get the message which is "powered by SupportSoft" about every minute when I have my email open. Also it does it when i close out email. I cannot send anything from my Windows mail because it says "the connection to the server has failed, Subject "registratino", Account:RoadRunner.com, protocol:smtp, port:25, secure (ssl) no, socket error:10060, error number 0x0800CCC0e......

Some 3rd party applications recommend installation from an administrator account. Does this mean a "True" administrator, or is it good enough to right click the installer and select "run as administrator" and what is the difference?....and the education continues.
