| Guest | Vista Administrative Rights? First of all, I am the person who installed Vista and did all the formatting and am the only user of this computer. My account says (in the user accounts) that I am a computer administrator however when I run Photoshop after installation and it tries to open the activation window it tells me: "You are not allowed to continue because your account does not have the proper privileges. Please log in using an account with administrator privileges and try again." Is this a compatibility issue? If not I would appreciate if someone could tell me how to fix it. Thanks. |

| Guest | Re: Vista Administrative Rights? Right-click on the program's shortcut and select 'Run as Administrator'. Even though your account is an Adminstrator account, it runs as a Standard User unless and until it needs Admin rights for a particular action. Some programs require Admin rights but are badly coded and don't ask for elevated rights in an appropriate manner. -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.

| Guest | Re: Vista Administrative Rights? Ok, finally I see what the problem is. I must force these older versions to prompt for the Administrative permission. Now what about those programs that I am re-installing (all did well with the exception of 2). The disc warns me that I cannot use the "Run as" command and must log in as Administrator? Can I get around this? It's important cause I just bought a new "compatible" printer and am not able to install the supporting software. No help from the manufacturer as of yet.

Short answer if you just want it "fixed": Google for "how to turn off uac". Long answer if you want to know why you should *not* turn it off (but rather right-click on Photoshop and select "Run as administrator" to do the activation): <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_as_administrator> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control> Greetings, hope that helps, Heinzi |
