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.

  • Error: "you don't have permission to access this folder. ' Click on continue having access to this folder continuously ".

    Original title: cannot access files on a folder on the drive hard usb after you have turned off sharing on a network.

    About a week and a half, I have set up my external hard drive usb to share on my network domestic as well as my brother could access some files on his laptop computer.  I've been playing with the security of some of the files on the hard drive and made sure that he could not access some of them.  I don't remember exactly what I did unfortunately.  After I had changed the security access, I was still able to access all files and my brother could not access it.  He got the files on the hard drive and I turned off my computer.  A few days later, I tried to access the files that I had limited and I was stuck.  When I went back in the drive to recover some files, I received an error "you don't have permission to access this folder.  Click on continue to have access to this folder permanently. "When I click on continue that another dialogue box comes up saying"you refused permission to access this folder.  To access this file you will need to use the Security tab. "I click on the link to Security tab and another dialog box appears asking"to continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties.  Do you want to continue? "I'm obviously the administrator because I have this computer and I'm the only account on it.  From this point, I don't know what I do or what I'm supposed to do to recover my files.  I played a bit with a couple of things and I was able to get into certain folders, but its an extremely long process that I don't have the time for.  A side effect of which in fact so I can see the files, is that for any movie file, I try to access it, I get an error.  When I try to open it with Windows Media Player, I get the error "Windows Media Player cannot access the file.  The file may be in use (which is not the case), you won't have access to the computer where the file is stored (which is not supposed to because the computer on which it is stored my personal computer), or your proxy settings are may not be not correct (what?). "If I try to use another program like VLC media player, I get a similar problem where an error comes up saying that it was impossible to access the file.  I can see the file and see the properties but I am unable to actually see the film.  I can't move the file anywhere because I don't have administrative rights.  I'm under Windows 7 Ultimate, and if someone could help me please, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Ridley,

    I see that this problem is old enough but you (or others) may have problems with it. Here's what I did:
    -Got to your hard drive and right click on the folder that is causing all the trouble.
    -Click on properties.
    -Click on the Security tab
    -Then click on advanced
    -You will see a window with a few user names. Now click on owner in the tabs above.
    -Click on edit, then select the user name you want to open the folder and don't forget to tick the box that says "Replace the owner of subcontainers and objects", then click on apply.
    A pop will come which says something like "You have replaced the property for the selected records" or something in this way. It worked for me and I hope this post is helpful for some people.

  • Error "you don't have the appropriate access rights to perform this task.

    Hi gurus,


    I'm under Hyperion Smart View for Office version 9.3.1.0.247 on Excel 2007.

    I encountered error "You don't have the appropriate access rights to perform this task" during its connection. I can't do other work after that.

    The mysterious thing is that when I tried to create another user with the same access rights, I do not encounter this error at all.

    Furthermore, when I tried to connect with another user who does not have this error, disconnects and immediately after, I me re - connect under the id problem with the same error disappears. (However, it reappears after a start of expenses excel place and first login with id problem)

    Personally, I don't think its an issue access rights but more like a bug somewhere. Anyone encountered such a problem before?

    How can I get this error message and copy the files?
    Thank you

    I'm glad that you were able to understand. Thanks for sharing your solution. In Windows Vista and Windows 7, even if your user account is an administrator (and this is not optimal, see why below), you still need to raise the true administrator to make global changes. In your case, that would by running high cmd ("run as Administrator").

    User - recommended configuration (Vista and Win7) accounts

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista and Windows 7 are OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges on Vista and Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Try to restore the data file, get error 'you don't have permission to save in this location"in Vista

    I am new to Windows Vista, but relatively competent in older versions. I installed the software on my new desktop computer. I am the only user on this computer and I have administrative rights. I installed the software in the Program Files directory. In the software, there is a folder for the working data file. I now try to 'restore' my data on this new computer file so that I can start working. I get an error message that says "you don't have permission to save in this location. Contact an administrator. "I have considered similar questions on this site and followed the advice to take possession of the file without success. I also created a new folder on the D drive, thinking maybe Vista I just wanted to keep C clean, but it gives me the same message. I can't save to the folder I created. Any advice?

    Program Files is a protected directory. If possible you create the working folder for the data in your user account instead. Is it possible in the options of the program the program in a directory of your user account? Or, if you think that any other user you may need to use this program, you could create the directory Public. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Download error iTunes 'you don't have enough privileges to access for this operation.

    Original title: Itunes download error

    Downloading itunes songs I get the message: you do not have enough of the access privileges for this operation. I changed the permissions and ownership, but it still does not work.

    Hello

    ·         Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·         You did changes to the system?

    Method 1: These messages occur if the permissions are incorrect on your designated music folder or a folder in your designated music folder. The permissions are settings that determine who can read, write, or execute a file or a folder on your computer. Each file and folder on your hard drive has an associated permission set.

    Example: If the permissions are correct on your music folder, but incorrect on the U2 folder inside your music folder, you would be able to add other music to your iTunes library, but not this new U2 album.

    To apply permissions to a file or a folder

    1. right click on the file or folder and then click Properties.

    2. click on the Security tab and then click on edit.

    3. do one of the following:

    ·         To set permissions for a user who is not listed under group or user names, click Add, type the name of the user or group, click OK, select the permissions, and then click OK.

    ·         To change or remove permissions for a user or an existing group, click the name of the user or group, select the permissions, and then click OK.
