Administrator Question

I tried to download software in an administrator account and it started
downloading for a little bit but then said "you do not have sufficient rights
please sign into an administrator account". I tried downloading different
software to make sure it wasn't the software and It said the same thing as I
stated before. I tried restarting my computer a few times and the problem
stayed persistant. Does anyone have suggestions on what I could do? Thankyou
for everyone who read this and took the time to give a good response.

Hi J.M.W.,

Where are you trying to download it to? You need to download it to the desktop or one of your (username) folders in the Start Menu. (EX: Downloads, Documents, etc....)
