Running Vista Basic SP1 as only user. While trying to update Adobe Reader, I get msg saying installer has insufficient privileges to access the Adobe directory, cannot continue, Logon as administrator. It doesn't give me the option of downloading the file, and then using right-click, Run as Administrator.
View 9 RepliesThis has been driving me crazy. After spending about 4 hours trying to get it to work, Vista refuses to back up my computer. I keep getting this box:
I have done all I know how to do, including creating a partition bigger than the one my OS is housed on (500gbs) and it is still not big enough apparently. The Seven backup worked amazingly, but Vista seems to not like it.
I had a problem with system restore after reformatting and reinstalling Vista from a backup.
System restore could not create restore points.

The volume path in vssadmin was missing a drive letter.
After many hours of searching for a solution and trying vssadmin, registry fixes etc., it only got worse...

I have a software program in which I want to save certain data files with a different name. When I use Save As, the software will not permit me to save the file, because it tells me that I need "administrator privileges." I am running on a Vista 32-bit platform. When I right-click the desktop icon in question in order to use Run as Administrator, the option does not appear in the drop-down list, as it does for other software programs that I use. Is there a way for me to get around this (i.e., to run the software as an administrator)? I know how to do this in Windows 2000, but I am still on a learning curve in Vista.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi'm using vista home 32bit with a user account that has administrator privileges. since there is a built-in administrator account which is disabled by default, i would just like to know that if i would enable the built-in administrator account and set a password and use it as my account and delete my user account with the same privileges (since it's my personal computer anyway), would there be any difference?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI installed vista ultimate x64 on my PC. After a while, I ran into some programs that requested I run them on the Administrator account. Not wanting to have to right-click and select the option every-time I installed something, I decided to enable the Administrator account with the command I found on the net, namely net user administrator /active:yes Restart, log into Administrator account, all is well. Naturally, not wanting to re-install all the programs, I simply copied the AppData, Documents and Desktop folders from the previous account over the ones in the Administrator account. All is well. I want to install a program and I receive the error message that I, the f-ing Administrator, don't have the privileges to install the program to it's pre-specified directory. So I go to the ProgramData folder (that's where most programs go) and check the Security properties. Administrators and System accounts have full permision enabled in every single sub-section of the option.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a quesiton which has been bugging me since we rolled out Vista to our desktops almost a years ago....Whenever I have to go to a users PC to install a new device (USB Storage Key for example) I usually have to spend about 10 minutes there as the Elevated Privileges dialoge box will pop up several times, as each component of the device tries to install itself...Is there any way to set this up so that when you apporve a device or installation, all the drivers and components for that device are also approved for install - it's quite frustratring having to spend 10 minutes doing a task which should take 30 seconds!
