Vista - Program must be started as Administrator

Thank you BeckyWC, your reply helped me get Bridge running. I almost
reinstalled an old Windows version so that I could use Bridge.

Now I find that I cannot not access other computers in my LAN with either
Bridge or Photoshop unless I map a network drive. Others might encounter this.

I am having the same issues with the following programs:
Corel Paint Shop Pro (PSP) X - Seems to install ok, but when I attempt to
run it, I get this message: "To start this application for the first time or
to activate it, log in using an administrator-level account." I am logged in
with an Administrator account (at least it's the only account on my PC. I did
a clean install of Vista using the defaults and under User Accounts it is
listed as an Administrator).

I also received a similiar message from Microsoft Money 2006. It opened ok,
but kept giving me error messages that said I had to be an administrator to
run the updates for the first time. I eventually ignored this message, left
Money open and running, and the updates installed anyway.

Instead of clicking on the icon, right-click on the icon and choose "Run as
Administrator." Vista and XP do not treat the word Administrator the same
when it regards user accounts.

Vista redefines Administrator. Go into properties\security for the programs
in question and set them to run as admin. then you will get the UAC bitch
box asking if you really do want to run this potentially dangerous software.
