  In my case, just by running the "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common" at CMD with ADMIN rights and by following the steps in uninstalling was enough.

• Windows Update requires approval from the Admin while logged in as an administrator

  I recently reinstalled Vista Ultimate after some adventures with a bad copy of Windows 7.  I am the administrator.  The only account that I currently have is the admin. account.  Any update I try to install, Windows Update asks me to log on as an administrator or ask one to perform the task for me.  I read articles and Q & A @http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistasecurity/thread/afa66485-9c42-469e-b393-5bd8ad5a82e5 until my eyes bled.  For the love of God: why this cannot be resolved so much hassle?

  * Title *.
  I am administrator BUT Windows Update told Me I need to provide permission administrator logon as administrator or by asking an administrator to perform tasks for me

  I had the same problem with Windows updates asking permission of the administrator when I was logged in as an administrator. Sometimes the Windows updates works fine and sometimes it has its flaws, but there is usually a way around it if you want to install the update. And here's one to try: go to start > Windows Update. You can eliminate the problem promptly Admin here by clicking on change settings in the sidebar and check the box that allow all users to install updates on this computer. You can always change it back again after you install the updates that you want. I hope this helps.

• How can I get the error "Unable to start the service" on attempts to run administrative tools (including the Services application) when logged in as an administrator?

  A large number of menu selections is affected, including the 'computer management', 'Event Viewer', 'Services' and 'System Configuration'.
   
  I tried to clean a computer that was thus invaded by unwanted applications and the services that it was unusable.  I applied several sets of Windows updates until it has been fairly stable, then lightened through the Services application services, changing many services 'automatic' to 'enabled' or 'disabled '.  I suspect that some service necessary for the performance of the foregoing has been inadvertently stopped.  (None that he was '' strongly recommended '' or '' recommended '' do not turn off or the description seemed to make a requirement, but...)  I don't know how to confirm this theory, identify the missing service or reactivate a service without the Services application.

  I got lucky.  I called a local, independent computer store.  Their support staff (after confirming that I had an appropriate Windows license) told me that if the computer came with a disk for Installation of Windows Vista, there is probably a partition to start installation on the hard disk, I could get to with a special touch at the beginning of the start-up phase of the BIOS.  It flashed by so quickly that I missed my chance, so I put off the power while trying to boot Windows.  On my next attempt, I missed again (even if I managed to spot the key combination - F11).  But when he arrived at the start-up phase of Windows, he offered me a chance to run the system restore which was banned when I was logged in with an administrator account.  I had to go back a ways, but I found one who would start and was able to complete cleaning of the machine and make it to a usable state.
   
  Thanks to all who responded.
   
  Oh, and it seems (according to my conversation with the service of the local computer store) that my fatal mistake was by disabling the service allowing you to promote its own security.  Apparently an administrator account is not the rights needed to perform most administrative functions without it; If disabling the service gets you into a nearly unrecoverable state.  A hint of that in the description of the service, or even a total ban on deactivation, would be a good idea.

• Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect, but immediately disconnected return.

  Original title: why my account automatically disconnect?

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect but then before he's even changed screens, immediately disconnect back.
  I can connect to it using safe and I ran Anti-malware, Microsoft Security Essentials and Advanced System Care and they have all come without any problem.
  Now, I guess I'm using an account with administrative privileges but different. I just need to open Windows Media Center, but every time I try, it says: I'm on the guest account. My machine won't let me create a new account, delete other accounts, or even to change the passwords. In addition, a random ASP.NET account appears and I can't remove it.
  I don't understand what I could do wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hi Jorgomli,

  1. you receive messages or error codes when you try to connect?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  Step 1:

  Because you can connect to the account administrator in safe mode, you can try to create a new safe mode administrator account and check.

  Check out the link:

  Create a user account

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-user-account

  Step 2:

  If still face problems, then you can try setting the default Administrator account and check if you can solve the problem.

  a. click the Start button

  (b) in the Start Menu, click all programs followed accessories

  c. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  d. in the drop-down menu that appears, click on the "Run as Administrator" option

  e. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked for permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  f. in the command prompt window, type the command net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.

  g. close the elevated command prompt.

  h. log (in the Start Menu) and you will see your new administrator integrated next to your current account.

  i. click the photo icon display built-in Administrator account and connect to it.

  If the problem is resolved, then you can create a new administrator account and check.

  You can try to create a new administrator account by following the link:

  You can also try disabling the default Administrator account using the command

  NET user administrator / active: No.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Error message: problem loading parameters and check the event log or ask the administrator

  My wallpaper, the desktop icons and most of my documents are gone.

  I have Vista Home Premium and a couple of days and I connected my desktop background was changed. Several desktop icons are missing, and a message came up saying there was a problem loading my settings and check the event log, or ask the administrator (me) for more details. All my "Favorites" were missing in the sidebar and my documents and recorded images folders are empty. Microsoft customer service tells me there is an error in my code for the identification of product (from the Windows Activation in systems and Maintenance) so I can't help out.

  Any thoughts? Thank you!

• Install the Error Message, you must be logged in as an administrator when installing this program.

  When I try to install cleaning msconfig program and other programs, but not all.

  I get this error message "You must be logged in as an administrator when installing this program.".

  I'm loggedd as an administrator and I try right click Run as administrator, I get the same message.

• Please log on as an administrator, and then try again

  I get this message on several programs that I am trying to install on my new laptop running Windows 7. One of them is Dell Support Center. It will not be implemented, and I get the message 'Please log in as an administrator and try again'. I AM connected with administrator privileges.

  Personally I do not recommend the use of the Dell Support Center. It is buggy and intrusive and not particularly useful. You'd better uninstall applet programs & features in Control Panel. Since you didn't say what the other program, I can't help you more specifically. Maybe it is not compatible with Windows 7, or you have to right click on its (often called something like setup.exe) Setup program and choose "Run as Administrator". With regard to your created username, please see below for you save some future aggravation.

  General recommendations for creating users in Windows 7:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. 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 in 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 there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  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).

• I can't log in as an administrator in my windows 7 PC with 32-bit operating system. What can I do?

  I put my password to log on as an administrator.  When I restrart the computer and try to log in it asked me to change the password to connect. I did it. When I try to getback to my computer with the new password, it says it's a mistake. Now, I can not connect as an administrator. What can I do? And who is the administrator of a computer that I own. I'm puzzled. Your help please

  I put my password to log on as an administrator.

  I don't understand what you mean with this statement - please explain.

  To recover from all that you have done, you can follow these steps:
  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Configure Windows to a point before you did what you did.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• Computer Dell laptop, they put as administrator with password created now says access denied need to log on as an administrator. But I did not log Administrator icon

  I've had my laptop by dell. on their return, I was signing the administrator with password created. It was working fine until I got the blue screen of death, and then in the mist to restart on the desktop, the windows 7 installation began as I receive it. Well, I got a few documents and photos that I had and they are no longer under one account I created. Also, now I can't print it said access denied need to log on as an administrator. But I did not log Administrator icon more. Help, please!

  I could do this:

  • Reference Dell request the logon credentials.
  • Plan in advance and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. Relying on a single unique administrator account is far too risky!
