| | Logging in as administrator My MSN messenger went down saying that it was out of date. To it get the new verson I have to be the local administrator. I am the only user on this computer so I am the administrator. Have seen by other posts that suggest that I am a super user. Cannot find anywhere how to log on as administrator when there is one account. Any help would be appreciated. The operating system is VISTA. |

| | RE: Logging in as administrator You do not need to log on as the Administrator to get the new version installed. You just have to log on as any administrator, and as the only user on the computer, you are one. You should just be able to download the new installer from http://get.live.com/messenger/overview and run it. The problem may be that you try to install it from the version that you have and that version may have been designed for XP. The new version works fine with Vista though. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 "Sarah" wrote: Quote: > My MSN messenger went down saying that it was out of date.
