Install Printer: Don't Have Administrator Rights
Apr 2, 2009
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.

I'm trying to install an Hp LaserJet printer, simple task... but then, after a couple of "next's" in the installation, a message pops up saying i have no administrator privileges... ok, after reading about the famous UAC, it still wont install after disableing it... I also tred moving some of the options on the administrative tools - local security settings... but thre's no way. I have reinstalled Vista a couple of times just in case and still nothing. I'm Runing Windows Vista Ultimate, tried with and with out SP1.

My account has Administrator Rights. However, there are things I can't do because I don't have the rights. Is there something higher than Admin., or what?.

I restored my vista OS using a system image utility provided by Alienware. It created a backup folder on the c drive with all the old files in it, including user profiles. I changed the owner of all files and folders back to my account and tried to delete it, but got the UAC messages that I need to allow administrator rights to do so. After clicking yes, I got a message that permission was denied with the only options of "Try Again" or "Cancel". After making visible all hidden files and folders, I was able to drill down to the one file I could not delete. I've used the "take ownership" steps in Vista explorer properties, and also the "takeown" dos commands, which report success that the Administrators group or my account which belongs to the administrators group, is the owner of the file, and that I have full control of it. Even so, I cannot delete this file. In DOS, I get access denied. In Explorer, I get the "you need permission to perform this action" message, with "try again" or "cancel", and it shows that my account (or administrators group, doing it that way) is the owner. It's just this one file. I was able to delete all other files and folders around this file, but just not this one.
I wonder if the folder path is so long or so nested that UAC fails to figure it out? It was in users\appdata
oamingetc. Or is the file corrupt? The file is a tempory file created by one of those biometric devices when logged on with your fingerprint, and is supposed to disappear when you log off, but it seems to have remained there because of a hard boot. Is there a utility I can use that can nuke this one lone file?

Lost Administration rights so unable to install any programs nor could I uninstall unwanted programs, - Unable to do a System Restore or Discscan. Last Windows update was in July this year and Windows Defender failed to defend although I do have AVG running continuously. Now System Restore provides only the manufacture date which is July 2007, months before I got the system.
Last Friday after speaking to HP technical it was deemed that I have probably a corrupt C:// harddrive and would need to reinstall the system again and loose all my folders, files etc and start again. Naturally I'm quaking in fear of loosing all items not backed up on discs.............

I have a Vista Desktop that has a wireless router. I have shared a printer, but I would like my Mac laptop to be able to print to it. Do I install the printer driver on the Mac or on the Vista machine? If I install on the Vista machine, is there a special installer? The printer is an HP DeskJet 2445.

I have coursework due in tomorrow and i havent used my printer in a while. I've installed a new OS since i've last used it, and assumed it wasn't working because I hadn't installed the software from the CD it came with. Anyway after ages of searching in my loft i find the disk, try to install and it's telling me NTPrint & Print Spooler services are unavailable, please enable them.
Run - services.msc, i try and find both of these services and they ARE NOT THERE! I've done alot of research since then and found out i need to use SC.EXE to kinda create the service, or i could do it through the registry. Only problem is i don't know how!! Please help it's one of my final pieces of coursework i really need this printed! I cant install my printer without enabling the services NTPrint & Print Spooler, but they arn't there. I need some commands or a regedit tweak to create these services. (Note - Please don't ask me to check msconfig or services.msc it is NOT there)

i had high hopes that installing printers on Vista would work better than previous version of windows but as it turns out it is worse! I have an HP P2015dn printer. I hooked it up to my Vista enterprise machine via usb and it was recognized. The wizard took me to a point where it was asking for the driver disk. I dont have the disk so i decided to hit "Cancell" so that it would be recognized and take me to the same prompt in the near future after i had gotten the cd or downloaded the drivers.
I got the cd, plugged in the printer again and this time it says USB Device not recognized. I thought "OK" i will just go to the printers control panel and install from there. Well wouldnt you know, you cant autodetect a usb printer from the printers control panel. It says "USB printers will be auto installed when you plug them in". I went to device manager and removed all usb items including the "unknown device" and rebooted. still no go. how i can clean up the machine to restore it so that the printer is recognized as a printer again? Or how can i do a manual install of a usb printer?

After doing a system recovery on my laptop, I can't print. Everything says the printer and drivers were installed. I could print before the recovery. If I plug USB into the laptop, it prints. When I try to print without the cable, I don't get an error or anything, it just doesn't print. I found something that says to /browse to the Temp folder of your user account, C:Users\AppDataLocalTemp and create a new folder and name it LOW. Then there are other instructions. I can???t find this C:Users, etc. Can anyone tell me exactly how to get there? I'm using Vista.

I need to get Vista install my HP printer/scanner PSC 950. It recognize the printer and try to install drivers for it, but does not find any drivers. It asks me to input my CD for the printer, and I have tried that with no luck. On HPs website the say that my printer is built in to Vista and that Vista should install it with no problem. This is not true since I cant make Vista install it.I have tried to unplug/plug the USB cabel for the printer, and Vista does the same thing every time, trying to install the driver for it with no success. I have Windows Vista Home Premium on a HP Pavilion dv6000.

I have found hundreds of threads on not being able to install a printer on an XP to a Vista machine, but not one about my problem. Home pear to pear workgroup network. 1 Vista Ultimate 64 bit, 2 XP Pro's, 2 XP Home. Lexmark Z600 printer hung off of the Vista PC. Working fine. Trying to use this Lexmark printer as the main printer for one of the XP Home PC's. From the XP Home PC can see the Vista share printer.
When installing, told that this is not the correct print driver & does not install. Solution 1 - Tried installing the standard XP 32 bit driver for this printer on the Vista PC so that the XP machine can download that driver during shared install. Vista says this tyep driver is not correct and will not allow me to install it for network sharing.............

I was able to load Vista SP1 RC Refresh 2 without a problem. I was in hopes that it would help me with the issue of trying to print to a networked printer on a shared XP machine from my Vista laptop where I have the SP1 loaded but that was a crock. Still getting error 0x0000000d when trying to connect to the printer after install. I am about to go back to XP and dump this OS. I just can't see how MS can justify not fixing these BIG problems that have been around for a majority of the users since the OS was released. Anybody got a pocket sized printer they will sell me cheap?

Has anyone successfully installed Lexmark X 4500 printer on 32bit Vista Ulimate? I have been at it for a few days also with tech support and so far no luck. I had downloaded the vista driver software from the Lexmark web site *cjb3500-4500en.exe* - it installs the software but cant find the vista driver. I have tried a clean uninstall, reinstalling the drivers, installing the drivers manually with add printers, and nothing has worked!!! also restored the vista to a before point and reinstalled still no use.

I a work at a very small software company here in Mich and i have having issues installing our software on vista to beta test. The installation script needs to install some DAO files to c:program filesMS sharedDAO
I decided to see if it was a rights issue so I logged in with the administrator account and tried to delete one of these files. I get a cryptic message about not having necessary rights (There is security controling access to this file... you do not have sufficient permission.)

Is this necessary? I see it as a hack to circumvent tight code. I always use an account with admin rights so I know when/what to install/run.

I've had this problem for 3 days now and googled all I can! I have come across people who have also had the same problem but found no conclusion to it! I have a Asrock MOBO, amd quadcore processor, 6gig ram....Basically when installing vista x64 it does everything perfect untill it gets too expanding files and it just stays there at 0%, first time I tryed it, it got to 22% and just stayed there... My HDD is IDE not SATA/SATAll does that make any difference? Or am I on the wrong tracks? I thought maybe my HDD wasnt set up right in the BIOs and tryed every setting and have the same effect.. I've build the PC myself

I am having trouble getting clips to play using Windows Vista with Windows Media Player 11 via the UEFA.com site. I have tried following the FAQ on http://support.uefa.com and also contacted support to no avail. They mention reinstalling Windows Media Player 11, however, this is not possible in Vista as far as I know. I have also tried deleting the DRM folder. Unfortunately, this has not fixed the issue. Finally, the same clips play on my Windows XP Pro machine without any problems. What else could be wrong?

Im running Vista Home Prem. 64, Im trying to get two applications of mine to open with Admin rights when going through a shortcut. I'm going to the actual file within Program Files/Application/exe. and right clicking it to bring up the Properties. Now within the Properties / Compatibiliy... I see the option checkbox for "Run this Program as an Administrator", but it appears greyed out. How do I get this option to become active, so I do not have to right click and select "Run as Admin" everytime I want to open the application? I am the admin for the computer, it is just my home computer, built and installed by myself.

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 just puchased a new Gateway computer and printer package. The Gateway is a FX7020 and the printer is a Canon MP210. The OS is Vista Home Premium. I followed the installation instructions to the letter, but the printer software never recognizes the printer and as a result does not complete the installation. I have rebooted as directed, but the problem persists.Here is the history: Prior to installing this new Canon MP210 printer I already had a Canon IP4200. This printer also had problems installing, but I was able to manually configure the printer by going to "Add New Hardware" in the Control Panel, select printers and then select the Canon ip4200 in the list. I configured it for port USB2* that was on the screen. For whatever reason, each time I restarted the computer the "New Hardware" dialog box came up and for many days I would just close and go on.
I did not have any printing problems and things seems to work OK. This morning I select "Don't ask me again" on the "New Hardware" dialog and could not print any longer. So I uninstalled the Canon ip4200 and started over, but this time the USB2* port was not available in the list of ports for the printer in the manual Add Hardware dialog boxes. At this point, I was tired of fooling with the Canon ip4200 and since I had new Canon MP210, I decided to install it and move on...So now you know the full story... I follow the instructions precisely and the drivers will not install. I look in the Add Hardware configuration dialog box and the USB port does not show up. I am guessing that by telling the "New Hardware" box to quit prompting me about the ip4200, it has disabled the USB ports or something.
