I am administrator but I can not edit and save the host file, it says: need administrator permissions, but I and the administrator?
He always tells me that I need to have administrator permissions to do things I have to do, but it shows my id as an administrator. The comments say there is a way to change so I am logged in as an administrator and not as standard users, but I don't seem to be able to do. Please give VERY detailed instructions. I need to add an ip address to my host file to test something and I can't seem to manage it.

Try this:
1 log in under an administrator account.
2 disable UAC *.
3 edit the file.
4 turn on UAC.
AFAIR you could also change with an admin account when starting mode safe.
* = UAC user account control. Click Start, click Help, then search for help on UAC to see how toggle.

Can not install or save the file to the Program Files folder
Just got a new laptop with Windows 7 64-bit and 32-bit computer. When downloading from internet programs or the installation of the CD, it won't let me save in either the Program Files folder. (I like to keep things organized and in one place, so I would like to save all my programs it). When I try to register there, an error message appears and says "you don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to back up to this location. You want to save in the case of Cheryl instead? »
I am the only user on the laptop and, therefore, the administrator. It upset me enough that there are already files Program Files (2). Not being not able to save the rest of my programs it makes me crazy. Help, please!
Well first off your laptop will be either using win7 64 bit or win7 32 bit, it cannot use both, and since you're talking about 2 files Program Files then this would indicate the 64-bit version of victory
If its 64-bit version of victory, the 32-bit programs install in the Program files (x 86) and 64-bit programs installed in the Program Files folder.
Trying to force programs to be installed in the wrong folder will save issues, and may result in this program does not work.
So no, you cannot install to a specific folder in Program Files

Hello Sharon,
Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.
I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:
How the computers are connected? If they are connected as a workgroup or domain?
Method 1: Disable the security software and check if the printer works.
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 do not 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 during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2: You can turn off the Windows Firewall and see if you can print.
- Press the Windows key +X key.
- Select Control Panel.
- Click on the firewallof Windows .
- Select enable the Windows Firewall On or off on the right next to the sign.
- Select the radio buttons Turn off firewall under Private and Public network settings
Warning: after reviewing the issue, turn on the firewall.
Method 3: Refer to the suggestions for the following links.

I have download Adobe Digital editions but can not open or launch the program.
What operating system.
If Vista, read http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/installing-digital-editions-20-windows.html
If XP, a lot of people have problems. A resolution is to install the 1.7.2 version instead (which also avoids other bugs).
Version 1.7.2 is a little hard to find,
I found this for PC at http://www.tucows.com/preview/853736/Adobe-Digital-Edition-For-EBooks
I don't know where there is a Mac version.

need a different application.Information about resizing...
Right-click on one or more selected inches... Choose... "Resize" in the menu.
Choose a format, access a folder to save in the left click the ' resize and

someone on this planet knows!
XP home sp3 can use printer/sp2 vista home premium & files on a network private wireless, but not vice versa. Vista can see xp connected on the entire map, but can not do anything with the icon (it shows the IP etc. When hovered over with the mouse). tried fix & checked all the rest including the settings found on the masses of internet sites. don't think that this problem is so widespread and not final fix?. someone must know the answer. both computers have norton 360 v6. !. two computers use internet very well through the same network switch. two computers worked flawlessly again, no repairs, no reinstall, not zero other problems ever (always ran 360 and first market backup battery).Hello
I recommend that you search/post this question on the link below:

File/folder preserved but can still edit and save the file
Nice day
I just want to ask how to protect a file/folder on Windows 7 from deletion, but I can still edit and save to the same file... (the file/folder is shared on other computers)...Thanks in advance...LorenzYou can go in the advanced security settings and explicitly deny file record all users "deleting subfolders and files" and "Remove" permissions, make sure that you propagate permissions to all child objects. But, as mentioned by another poster, if users can change the files they can damage or save them as empty files.

I have Adobe Acrobat XI and can not know how to draw a line. I need to redline some documents but can not. Does version XI even not this feature?
Yes, Acrobat Pro XI and standard have this ability.
There is the comment > Annotations > online tool.
There is the comment > Annotations > tool bar.In the Properties dialog box for one, you can select a desired color (i.e. red).
So, in properties, you can check a choice to make this the default value of the tool.Basically, all versions of Acrobat (including the new "DC") offer this feature.
If you work with a scanned image that has been placed in the PDF don't forget to use the OCR to get an output of a 'real' text - Acrobat provides a feature of OCR.
Be well...
