• Error "you don't have administrative privileges.

  I write on behalf of a client. Could not load the software on his computer because it receives the error message. Already tried going to user accounts to correct without result. Help, please.

  Thank you.

  Don't read too much into this error.  When a program installs, please put the files in certain directories and add entries in the system registry.  If for some reason, she finds that he can not create a file or registry entry it often over-simplistically assume that it is because you are not an administrator user and hot flashes to the top of this error.  Reality and administrator may be denied the privilege to directories and records like any other user.  This can occur due to malware or a too aggressive security program or a corrupted file system.  If I was in your position, I would first like to run a "chkdsk /f" and if that did not help, run the freeware "Process Monitor" and are trying to determine which directory or registry did not allow changes that are needed.  Not for the hearts-of-heart, this program can easily provide the information overload.

  Process Monitor: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645>

  The quick check to see if you have administrator privileges is to right-click on 'start '.  If "Open All Users" is one of the options that are displayed in the window, then you have administrator privileges.

• Vista administrator privileges is FUBAR, can help you with suggestions.

  OK, so here is the story.

  I have a homemade PC for my teenagers. It became slow and bogged down
  down (they really loaded it with garbage)... then I copied off
  important documents and did a clean install with Windows Vista Edition basic family.

  I created my daughter as the only user (by default).

  After that all updates and things were running, they decided
  that they both wanted to separate accounts, no problem.

  So I made a user for my son, so I thought I better protect this PC a
  little and made myself a user account as well.

  I then used my administrator account by default girls to change user
  parameters and give me administrator privileges.

  I then changed its settings to remove administrator privileges.

  Restart and voila, all together, no?

  Evil.

  The system only allows me to perform administrator functions
  When you are connected to my user account, I have no idea why.

  The worst thing is that it also does not allow my daughters user account
  to have an Administrator privelages.

  Basically, he couldn't give me admin privelages and yet correctly
  removed his admin privelages.

  Therefore, I can't change anything to the computer, cannot be installed
  programs, cannot change all settings, can not update users...

  He won't let me do anything, even if I right click Run as
  Administrator (request a password that does not work using either
  my girls or mine)

  I can not install any programs, as it still does administrator password
  the box pop up asking for a password has no field to enter a.

  I returned and removed the passwords of all users.

  Same problem, it is always ask password when you try to install
  any software or change system settings.

  It won't let me even go back to a restore point, because it requires a password.

  I tried to access the command prompt and enter what is hidden
  files of the administrator.

  Guess what?

  It's true, that it won't let me activate it by one of the user logons
  as said you must have administrator privileges and none of
  make them.

  OK fine, I give up, somehow, I screwed here, to take the pain
  and re-install and go through the hours of reupdating...

  Not so fast, now I found another problem.

  When the computer reboots, the computer sees the keyboard (USB) up to the
  Windows is running.

  Without recognizing the keyboard, I can't interrupt the boot sequence
  to tell it to boot from the CD/DVD drive.

  I am able to enter the BIOS to tell him to just boot from the
  the CD/DVD drive, but it still gives me the option of Vista and the timer starts

  and can not be interrupted as it recognizes not all keyboard commands.

  I found an old USB adapter to PC I had and tried to connect the
  keyboard to that instead of a USB key.

  It doesn't always recognize the keyboard during the initial startup sequence.

  I tried 3 keyboards in all USB slots, same story, is not
  recognize the keyboard, so I can't interrupt the boot upward to install
  of the disc.

  If I let him continue it starts very well Windows Vista and all the
  devices work fine.

  It won't just not let me do the administrative tasks at all.

  Talk about uptight.

  I can not install anything, I can't change anything, and now I can't
  even reinstalling Vista.

  Tell me please that someone has a suggestion that is not too
  technically difficult.

  I need your help if you guessed it!

  Well nothing of such things seems to work, but I got the chance of a solution that I forgot.

  I went back into the BIOS and found that USB keyboard and USB mouse have been disabled, for this is why the keyboard would not work during the boot manager.

  I went and endabled them and then the keyboard would work to let me interrupt the boot upward.

  Now, here's something.

  When I booted in safe mode it put the 'hidden' on the desktop administrator account.

  I have connected to this administrator account and immediately changed each administrator user account.

  Restarted in normal mode and my problem was solved!

  Thanks for the help, hope this answer helps others.

• How do I allow users without administrator privileges install fonts?

  I need allow users to install fonts without administrator privileges.  Googling landed a few eccentric tools, but this isn't an option... I can change the entries in registry, file & directory permissions, use Windows commands in batch scripts, etc. but I can not use any third-party downloads.  In addition, just save them to the police for the session cache is not enough... they should be able to install fonts in C:\Windows\Fonts directory.  It's OK, if they can not uninstall a font, allowing that could remove a font that Windows requires.

• Windows 7 Admin account does not have administrator privileges?

  Hey guys,.

  I'm having a very strange problem here. Everything I do on my computer needs now administrative privileges, otherwise it will not work properly. I'm unable to open iTunes without them because it says that it cannot access the program folder, but if I open it with privileges, it works perfectly. Whenever I try to pin a program to the taskbar, clicking on the "Pin to taskbar" button does nothing. Again right click on the shortcut and select Pin to Taskbar does not work. I can't download any type of files on Google Chrome; nothing happens when I try to record anything.  Chrome is also impossible to record all new cookies as well, and I am also unable to watch Netflix instant Streaming due to a Silverlight issue. Flash work, however.  Whenever I try to delete all files, or move files, in my "Documents" folder, he said: "you have to give administrator privileges... blah blah blah." It worked perfectly when I got the computer, but it seemed just not to work a few weeks ago.

  
  I have no idea of reversing what is happening on any any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Hi ImBakinBacon,

  1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  Method 1:

  This can occur if the administrator account is corrupted.

  You can try to create a new administrator account and check.

  Create a user account

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-user-account

  Method 2:

  If you are unable to create user account, thenyou, try to disable user account control and check if it helps:

  Step 1:

  Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result

  See how can I change the behavior of user account control by using the slider? :

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-change-the-behavior-of-user-account-control-by-using-the-slider

  Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.

  Step 2:

  You can also try setting the default Administrator account and check if the problem occurs.

  a. click the Start button, then click all programs followed by accessories

  b. in the menu accessories, click right on the command line option and select'Run as Administrator "."

  c. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked for permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  d. in the command prompt window, type the command net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.

  e. close the elevated command prompt.

  f. log (in the Start Menu) and you will see your new administrator integrated next to your current account.

  g. click the photo icon display built-in Administrator account and connect to it.

  Step 3:

  If you are not facing any issue, then try to create a new user account and verify.

  Check out the link:

  Fix a corrupted user profile:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

  If the problem is resolved, then try to disable the default Administrator of the following account:

  NET user administrator / active: No.

  Also turn on user account control.

• How to get back to the user account administrator privileges?

  Original title: lost the privileges on the computer at home. How ca I get it back?

  I am the only user on my home computer, using Windows 7 Professional. When you turn on the computer, always offered welcome my administrator screen and waited for a response and normal user accounts before continuing. Rarely need to log on as an administrator and have to go back to the computer just to press a button before it continued its long initialization has been frustrating. Want to remove the log on option user I did it via the Control Panel [don't know how, now!] so now I can turn it on and let it start in his own good time without further interaction from me, which is great.

  What is not big, is that I lost all administrator privileges, then any time the area UAC appears asking if I want to continue with the program and I need to answer YES, it won't let me as the Yes box is grayed out.

  The management of the computer control panel, I can get local users where I can see that my backup Administrator account is disabled. If I click on the box to reactivate the account, access is denied, so I can not turn on the account.

  Help, please!  I would really think my administrator account to return once again, without having to turn off every time.

  Thank you for your expertise in advance.

  Dave

  Here you go:

  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Configure Windows to a point before you made the change.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• I have administrator privileges, but when I run CHKDSK it says access denied due to insufficient privileges.

  I have administrator privileges, but when I run CHKDSK it says access denied due to insufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility in elevated mode.

  How can I fix it?

  Hello

  1. what prompted to run chkdsk on your computer?

  To work with this problem, refer to these methods.

  Method 1:

  I suggest that you disable the antivirus software temporarily and try to run chkdsk on your computer.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Warning:
  Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2:

  You can check disk errors using the command-line of the system recovery options in Windows 7.

  What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7

  To open the System Recovery Options, see the section: to open the menu system on your computer Recovery Options
  

  Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  Check if it helps.

• Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager does not recognize the device without administrator privileges

  Hello. My "BOLD" BB works fine at home with 4.6 DM. However, at work DM detects that the device is plugged when I get with administrative privileges (Windows XP Pro, SP2). When I am denied the additional privileges DM cannot detect the BB.

  DM has been intalled under administrator privileges, but I'm not allowed with this privilege permanently.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  It seems that when DM has been installed, it has not been installed "for all users".  Maybe uninstall and when it is reinstalled, make sure that the option "for all users" is checked (insteald "only for this user").

• I accidentally deleted the administrator account while trying to get rid of administrator privileges - HELP!

  I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges for that when I'm on another user account he don't ask me the password, or install all the files that I had the intention of this account to the administrator account. I used the command net user administrator / active: No.

  I'm not quite sure if I completely deleted the account or hidden in some way, but now whenever I try to do anything that requires the administrator password (almost everything) I don't even have an opportunity to choose Yes to enter and only the no option I can't change any settings on the computer at all by using a user account This being via CommandPrompt, Panel etc. I'm at a complete loss as what to do.

  (Also, if someone was uncertain, the account Administrator is not visible on the screen to connect.)

  I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges

  -> Order net user administrator / active: No. will do exactly what it says: it allows to disable the administrator account. That is to throw the main key to the safe. Here's how you can reverse this reckless action:
  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Set Windows to a point before you demoted the administrator account.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, even you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• Windows 7, I forgot the password of the account with administrator privileges, how can I reset or remove this password

  I have two user accounts, now I forgot the password of an account with administrative privileges, how can I reset or remove this password

  I have two user accounts, now I forgot the password of an account with administrative privileges, how can I reset or remove this password

  There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
  • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
  After solving this problem, plan in advance and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare House key.

• Windows 8 without administrator privileges

  I did a stupid thing (I think)

  I wanted to get rid of the connection whenever I launched windows 8
  I followed the instructions and the PC started very well without connection, unfortunately the I used because the connection does not account/user administrator privileges, at least I think that's what happened.
  The result is that I can now none liked install/uninstall/change programs, items or laptop settings. Whenever I'm trying to reset or alter anything UAC wants the "Yes" box ticking, but it is grayed (because I don't have administrator privileges)
  Tried to update it's just the same thing!
