| | Vista Home Admin issues My laptop hase Vista Home, recently I have not been able to access things on my laptop. When trying to access control panel or run any programs I get and error stating, 'you do not have admistrator permissions to complete this action 'or something like that. Sometimes rebooting it helps, but then it goes back to not allowing me to run or access anything but the internet. 'Run as Administrator' has not worked at all and alsoa System restore did not fix the issue. |

Mac's have 2 accounts, normally users run as users not admins. Vista is trying that for us because Mac's don't have the virus and spam issues we Windows users have. One can argue that Mac's don't have the market saturation to justify the hackers trying to hack them, but if you do not have Admin rights, little can be installed including viruses, spam, trojans, etc. |
