Admin Problem

When i try using certain programs on vista, it will tell me that i can not
complete the task because i need to be an admin... i am the admin and the
only user on the computer.
is there a way to address this, or can i never use my spyware scanner
properly ever again????

Re: Admin Problem

Hello,

try right-clicking the application and choosing "Run as administrator" in
order to start the program properly in elevated rights mode.
