Try to install firefox and the computer says I don't have permission to do so
With the help of HP Pavillion GC381AV #ABA
Operating system is Windows Vista
Error message: "you may not be the necessary permissions to use all the features of the program you are about to run." "You can run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as long as the current user.
This message appears after that I have to download Mozilla Firefox, once downloaded first step in this process opens preventing step 2 (which is the Mozilla installation wizard) I am logged on as administrator, so I should have the necessary permission, but when I say to use the current user, the box disappears and nothing happens there is no Setup Wizard to run no sign of it on my computer anywhere for me to access. The only other user account is a guest account so I don't know why he won't give me permission to use all the thoughts?
Hello and thank you for the HP Forums. The installation is looking for an administrator account in order to run. If you are an administrator on the computer, please follow these steps:
1 when you download Firefox save the download file to your desktop.
2. when the download is complete and the file is located on your desktop, right-click on the file and choose "Run as Administrator".
This should install the program without more questions.
If you are not an administrator on the computer you will need to disconnect and connect to the computer with an administrator account to install this program.

No, you're not. The main user is not automatically the administrator. You must enable the default Administrator account.

My XP computer crashed and now I have Windows 7 on a new PC. I downloaded my files from an online backup and now when I try and open a Word document, for example, I get the error message "you don't have permission to open this file. Contact the file owner or administrator to get permission. " I am the administrator and the owner of the file. Help! I am locked out of all my files!
Right click on the folder that you want to take control and then click Properties.
Click the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
Click on change. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.
If you want that person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects to check.
Click OK.
