| | Set computer for any user I want to set my computer for standard instead of administrator. I am trying to install the media player winter pack and it tells me the installation has insufficiant priviligaes to access this directory. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator. The only acct on here is just me and no one else no matter what i chage it dont help. I was gonna set it as standard instead of admin but it isnt letting me change it HELP -- L&G Dry Goods & Mercantile |

| | Re: Set computer for any user Hello, with Vista, many applications need more privileges, as they run in user's mode. The account itself (so the user himself) has administrative privileges only. Right-click the application, select "Run as administrator", and it hopefully will work. Greetings, P.
