admin access?

Hi all,

Something weird is going on in my Vista Ultimate July CTP install. Very
often, when I go to do certain things like change network connection
properties, install programs etc. I get an error message saying I dont have
enough rights OR I am not logged in as an administrator. However, when I go
to my User accounts in Control Panel, it shows me as an Administrator. Whats
up?

TIA!

Re: admin access?

Perhaps you should read up a little on UAC.
