| | Re: Administrative Account help Its possible the download is trying to place the file directly into one of the "super-protected" areas of the drive. Even an admin cannot directly save to some areas (try saving a test notepad file to "c:\program files" and you will see what I mean.) You may be able to download the patch manually to your documents folder or the desktop and then execute it from there. You may also try removing the UAC temporarily (control panel - user accounts - turn user account control on or off) though keep in mind it should be turned back on for maximum protection. Hope that helps!
