Re: I need admin privileges?????

you mustn't loggin as an administrator user but inside the administrator account. To do so, just go to "run" and write the command "lusrmgr.msc", after that, go to users, right click on administrator's properties then enable it. once done, loggout and get in the administrator account which appears and instal your soft. Hope it's gonna help you.

Re: I need admin privileges?????

I tried to install Alcohol 120% on my Vista machine and it crashed the partition I had it installed on. I had to go in safe mode and delete the virtual disk driver. Maybe I was installing an outdated version, but yeah... I didn't have a good experiace with Alcohol 120% and Vista.

Re: I need admin privileges?????

Hi,

I have a very similair problem although i cannot install Deamon or Alcohol 120 or Adobe reader on vista Ultimate, But i cant install a printer either,

I tried this "you mustn't loggin as an administrator user but inside the administrator account. To do so, just go to "run" and write the command "lusrmgr.msc", after that, go to users, right click on administrator's properties then enable it. once done, loggout and get in the administrator account which appears and instal your soft. Hope it's gonna help you. "

But even logging in with the administrator account i still cant do any of the things above.
Any ideas?

Re: I need admin privileges?????

have you tried right clicking on the program and clicking run as administrator? if that doesn't work maybe you need to restart your computer or re-install the program, or use another account with ADMIN priviliges.....

Right Click the installer, go down to "Run as Administrator". Try that first.
