In Vista, the software installs stopped working unless I run as administrator

I'm running Vista, and about 3 weeks ago I started to be impossible to install anything (for example the automatic updates of Adobe or Firefox), at least I have download and run them as an administrator from a command line.  Clearly, I have a permissions problem with the my login ID... but I don't know how this happened or how to go back to the way that it used to work.  I would like suggestions.  Thank you

Here are the rules:
You cannot install, uninstall, change settings, create accounts user etc etc, unless you are:

1. a Director or
2. in possession of an admin password.

If you have logged a administrator account and you are trying to do, install a program, you will be asked to leave. In this case, all you have to do is click Yes or Continue.
If you are connected to a standard user account, and you are trying to do, install a program, you will be asked to enter the admin password before the system will proceed with the installation.

That's how the system works.

  • HTML/JS app does not work unless you run as administrator

    I created an Air (air 3.1) with JS/HTML application and I am compiling under Windows 7 64-bit, using the Air SDK 3.1. Self-signed cert.

    It seems, if I run the air application without selecting 'Run as administrator', it load the initial window but no other event seems to be captured - clicks of the mouse in the app do nothing for example and its clear from the Windows Task Manager, that none of the resources cpu/mem I expect to use are.

    If I run it as administrator, everything is hunky dory.

    Of course, I don't want to educate windows users to run as administrator, then how it works by default without administrator privileges. Is this something to do with the lack of good cert?

    I think that's the problem.  On Windows Vista with impatience, the application (usually program files) directory requires permissions for writing.  Instead of using File.applicationDirectory, try File.applicationStorageDirectory.

  • weather software has stopped working on my iq504 vista Home premium OS

    I have Touchsmart IQ504, using Vista Home Premium 64 - bit operating system.  About a month ago the weather software has stopped working.  I can't understand why. All the other Touchsmart software works very well.

    Hey kathyC14

    He is Expert days HP so I'm here to help you with your problem.  I did some digging around to give you and answer, but before I did, let me share what I think is happening.  The system that you referenced is an old PC, the IQ504, released in 2008. I understand that the weather app is is more updated and thus stops working.  You can get an application similar to the following link.  It's just one of the many weather apps out there so maybe do some looking around and see one that meets your needs.

    Hello

    • Have you tried the suggestions of Imran M in other post?

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1:

    Temporarily disable UAC and check if the problem persists.

    1. open Control Panel.
    2. under the user account and family settings click on the "add user account / remove."
    3. click on one of the user accounts, for example, you can use the guest account.
    4. in the user account, click on the link "go to the main page of the user account.
    5. under "Make changes to your user account", click on the link "change security settings".
    6. in him "turn User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to deselect the "use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer. Click the Ok button.
    7. you will be asked to restart your computer. Do when you're ready.

    Warning: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

    Method 2:
    I recommend the clean boot and try to run the program.

    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  • Use high CPU (35% average) while System Idle process CPU about 98% but frustrated by "[name of the prog] has stopped working".

    Hello

    I am trying to help someone with a laptop HP model g6-1202sa (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, another record at the end of the post).

    I think that Windows is now updated and drivers, but the problem remains also.

    The laptop has the symptoms mentioned in the title I found the Manager tasks.  Laptop fan is on a large part of the time, and the owner says that, during the execution of something more intensive than Skype for example of internet browsing, they get a warning from Norton on high CPU. Resource monitor shows that system interrupts are on average about 31% CPU.

    The results, I found the task manager has led to some research on Google, which in turn led me to want to run adksetup.exe (Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit) in the hope of discovering if a particular driver is causing the problem. (Various threads on the internet point to what is the way to go).

    However, after downloading adksetup.exe, when I try to launch it I get the initial screen of Toolbox and then 'assessment of Windows and the deployment for Windows 8.1 Kit has stopped working ". (Verification of the solution finally gives the only option to "Close the program").  Similarly, I have now discovered that if I try to look at the properties of the computer, i.e. start > right click on computer > left click on properties, I get "Windows Explorer has stopped working". Do more research on Google I find sometimes I get "Internet Explorer has stopped working" sometimes (Chrome is ok).  More out of curiosity than anything specific I ran AMD VISION Engine Control Center after right click on the desktop and ended with 'Catalyst Control Center; The host Application has stopped working".

    So before going any further, does anyone have any ideas what's happening?   I do not understand the problems 'has stopped working"in safe mode, but the high utilization of the processor with System Idle Process around 98% is still there.  It appears so that I can run adksetup.exe in safe mode while this would be the way to proceed and continue to try to tackle the problem of CPU?

    For the record, some of the things I've done along the way include update of Windows, updating drivers, running the file system (no violation of integrity) checker, a regular chkdsk ("CHKDSK discovered free space marked allocated in the master file table (MFT) bitmap. Correcting errors in the volume bitmap. Windows has made corrections to the file system").  Swapped the only module memory 4GB 2 x 1 GB modules I had to hang out, all the symptoms remained 4 GB then reinstalled.
