Not recognized as a system administrator

I am logged on as system administrator, but I'm still getting messages telling me to ask my system administrator for permission.  No idea why this would happen, or how I can fix this?

Hello JillCornieles,

Since Windows Vista and Windows 7, a logon administrator account always uses a standard or limited account for certain purposes. As an administrator, you have the credentials to perform administrator functions (creating/changing user permissions and accounts of users etc.). However the programs always run in a secure mode in which they are prevented from making specific functions (access to certain hardware/software properties, etc.). To access these properties, you can run a program using the "Run as administrator". To run as an administrator, you right-click on a program and select "Run as Administrator" in the right click menu.

You can see the results of user account control. You can set the level of security desired for user account control in Windows Vista. However, Microsoft does not recommend disabling the user account control. To do this is at your own risk.

Read the KB article below describing the UAC.

Article number: 922708 - how to use User Account Control (UAC) in Windows Vista
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/922708
 
Windows Vista

  1. Click Start, type user accounts in the Start Search box, and then click user accounts in the programs list.
  2. Click enable UAC enabled or disabled.

    Note If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

  3. Click to select the check box use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer , and then click OK.
  4. Restart the computer to apply the change.

    I hope this helps.

    When you get this message? You say what kind of material is it?

    You can use the PC when it starts on the desktop? If you can, do the following:

    Click Start, run and then copy / paste the following command, and then click OK: msinfo32
    (If you have run on the start menu, hit instead of key Windows + R)

    When the menu msinfo32 opens, open the tree in the left menu and then click "problem devices".  Nothing is displayed in the right pane when you do this?

  • NEITHER USB-6501 not recognized by the system

    Hi all

    I wrote this simple application that writes and reads a SPI frame.

    My PC have Labview 8.5.1 and DAQmx 8.7.1 (the CD was provided with my unit NI USB-6501). Everything works fine.

    But now I need to distribute the application, and I need to run it from a computer that does not have LabVIEW.

    I installed the latest versions of the runtime of LV (8.6), and the 8.7.1, DAQmx software but the program crashes produce an error (code 200477).

    I tried to install a more recent DAQmx software (8.9 full, engine of execution of 8,9 only), but the situation has not changed.

    Also: I tried on two different PCs, and I launched MAX: one of them doesn't even recognize that a DAQ hardware is installed (even if Windows recognizes as a work device).

    Anyway, the two PCs return error 200477.

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Best regards

    Is - this dev4 on the pc without LabVIEW? You can easily see the device name in MAX.
