I can't delete a file. It says I need administrator permission
I can not remove this file, yahtzee - dm.exe. It says I need administrator permissions. But I AM the administrator and the only user of my PC. I tried to change the permissions of the folder and the permissions of the file. No luck. McAfee keeps popping up saying it is a potentially unwanted program, but it cannot delete the file. I tried several other malware cleaners, Malwarebytes, Ad-Aware and they do not even see it as a threat.
I want my computer. How do I do that?
Using Windows 7
Delete the file in Safe Mode. To enter Mode safe mode repeatedly press the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the diagnostic menu where you can choose Safe Mode. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

FSX says I need administrator right to save the texture
Hello microsoft,.
I posted a question similar to this one before, got a response, but did not get specific answers. See, when I download the texture file and to copy them all, cut and paste, after all you're supposed to save the file and start FSX. But when I save the file, he denies and says I need administrator rights to save the file when I am the administrator of the computer. Please give me an answer to this and help. Thank you.-MaryseHello

Trying to make a USB bootable via UltraISO, says I need administrator privileges
I'm doing a usb bootable via ultraISO and it says you need administrator privileges. ? I am the administrator and the only user to use it... !!
all solutions... ?
You receive the error message is a little vague. You really need "elevated privileges" that are more that holds a user to the Administrators group. Restart ultraISO by the contextual element or the right click menu and select run as administrator. Provide credentials if necessary.

Where can I download Microsoft Freecell game?
Original title: FREECELL?
Where can I find a MICROSOFT of FREECELL download for my new machine WINDOWS 8?
Hi Matthew,
Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.
From your problem description, I understand you want to download FREECELL for Windows 8 PC.
Unfortunately, previous versions of Windows games are removed from Windows 8, but what we can do is to download FreeCell for Windows store that is similar to the FreeCell in Windows Vista.
Try the following steps to find these games and install:
a. go to the home screen . Click on store of tile to open Store.
B.Once store is open, under the spotlight, you can see the apps. Click on had apps? Tile to display the complete list of the applications provided with Windows 8.
c or tap the application you want to install. This action will open the details page, where you can see the features, the release notes and comments.
d.On the pane on the left (on the detail page), you will see install button. Click install to begin the installation of the application. You're done!
You can also download the game from the links.

I am totally lost and spent two hours trying to figure this out. I just bought the sims 3 and when I try to play said: device 0 cannot run this title. Your video card does not support at least Shader Model 2. Please update your card.
I tried to update my drivers but to no avail. I have no idea what to do here, can anyone help please? I just want to play this game!Your video card is basic it is perfect for office 2D work which is what this laptop was designed for. It is not suitable for playing games and video chip does not respect the Sims 3 system requirements. There is nothing you can do about it. This isn't a limitation of software (drivers), but a physical limitation (this video card cannot play this game). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
