| | administrator priv not recognized after program closes I am running an accounting program. I am the only administrator/user on this computer. I have tried to "run the program as administrator" which helps while the program is running, however there are updates that are supposed to load after the program shuts down and I get the message: Please have an administrator log in to change the program. I don't get it as I am supposed to be the administrator! |

| | Re: administrator priv not recognized after program closes Hello, In Windows Vista, even though you are an administrator, the programs that run on your computer cannot use your administrator power unless they ask you for it, or you explicitly give them power by right-clicking them and clicking Run As Administrator. You are doing everything correctly; the program is at fault here. I would suggest checking for an update for the program on their website that makes their software vista-compatible. -- - JB Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |

| | Re: administrator priv not recognized after program closes Yeah that makes sense. The program that works correctly untill Vistas admin problems come up and the standard response is "the program is at fault" Yea, right.. Sound to me like Vistas "running admin programs not at admin levels" program is at fault.

| | Re: administrator priv not recognized after program closes You are making an incorrect assumption because you have not taken the time to look at the underlying reasons for the way Vista works. There are no admin problems in Vista, only in the way programs that are not Vista compliant work. Up until now, some programs have been written to require that they be given full access to the Windows system with no restrictions at all, even if the programs did not really require this type of access. This allowed things like viruses and other malware to use these programs to gain access to the system core and perform their dirty deeds. These programs were written this way simply because it was easier than writing them to access only the specific parts of the system that they actually needed. These legacy programs need to be updated to comply with the restrictions that are present in Vista. A program that meets these new standards will not require the elevated prompt for admin access to be displayed. If you really want to be informed read the following article.

| | Re: administrator priv not recognized after program closes I will read the 8 pages and see what I can do. My biggest frustration comes from the fact that I did NOT want to buy a laptop with VISTA because these transitional problems need time to be ironed out, it usually takes a year for both the MS world and Non-MS world to become compatible.
