| Guest | Program wants me to log on as administrator I am trying to install Pinnacle Systems Dazzle video editing software on an Acer Laptop with Vista Home Premium. When I try to launch the install a window opens saying I need to log on as administrator. I am the administrator and the user name & password I use are for the administrator. There are no other users. My account icon is labeled as administrator. I have searched Help with no answer to this problem, Help did suggest I right click the program icon and select "run as administrator" but no such command appeared in the window. Help, please. TIA |

| Guest | Re: Program wants me to log on as administrator Hi, You need to right click the setup.exe file and use the 'run as administrator', not the icon. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Fred Brown" <fbrown@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:473f6f34$0$39005$bb4e3ad8@xxxxxx Quote: >I am trying to install Pinnacle Systems Dazzle video editing software on an >Acer Laptop with > Vista Home Premium. > When I try to launch the install a window opens saying I need to log on as > administrator. > I am the administrator and the user name & password I use are for the > administrator. > There are no other users. > My account icon is labeled as administrator. > I have searched Help with no answer to this problem, Help did suggest I > right click the program > icon and select "run as administrator" but no such command appeared in the > window. > Help, please. > TIA |

Program is XP version, guess I'll have to look for a Vista version, Kind of strange as I've installed Win 95 programs and they run fine. Oh well, thanks anyway. |
