Vista always requires administrative rights when downloading software

My user account in Vista is labeled as an administrator.
This is the only account on the laptop.

However whenever I download a program for example it still makes me download into the folder "downloads" that I did not have permission from the administrator to download where I choose.

Anyone know why this is the case and how to solve this please?

'Real' Vista administrator account is disabled by default, so even if you are an administrator, you need real administrator privileges to do certain tasks.

What you can try, it is right click on the Internet Explorer icon and choose 'run as administrator '.

Or try another browser such as Firefox.

  • FAQ (27): the SDM requires administrator rights to run?

    When I launch SDM, it happens with this dialog box. Is this normal?

    Yes. SDM requires administrator rights because it requires the appropriate rights to update or apply SoftPaq updates to your computer.

    The above message appears only if UAC (User Access Control) is turned on and that the user doesn't have administrator rights. For more information about UAC, please visit this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control

    UNFORTUNATELY, the SDM version 3.5.0.0 (later from this post) has a problem where it wrong will not recognize the user as administrator if UAC is enabled.

    If you have the SDM version 3.5.0.0, have active UAC and you are logged on under an account that has administrator rights and SDM displays the dialog box above, please note that this is a bug found ONLY in the SDM 3.5.0.0 version and will be fixed with the next version.

    In the meantime, there are two solutions we can suggest you to work around this problem:

    (1) Although not recommended, you can disable UAC and reboot for the changes to take effect. We do not recommend this approach because UAC protects the computer against attacks. We include this option only for purposes of completeness.

    2) RECOMMENDED WORKAROUND: Force MDS to start with administrator right.  To do this, please follow these steps to work around the problem, until a new version of SDM is available:

    1. Open Windows Explorer.
    2. Go to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Hewlett-Packard\HP SoftPaq Download Manager. Note: If you have a 32-bit operating system, navigate to C:\Program Hewlett-Packard HP SoftPaq Download Manager.
    3. Right click on the file "SoftPaqDownloadManager.exe".
    4. Select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu.

    I never have this problem on other portable Toshiba (Tecra A4, S2, M1...) Please help :-)

    What about the case is clear, if the user wan to access the flash memory module inserted that he needs an admin rights

    What you could do is to assign admin rights only for this particular application, which is responsible for flash memory.

    I put t know exactly what applications it is but I guess on these program needs the right admin; Memory card SD, SD memory boot utility, format etc.

    To assign the authorization right right click on the applications and select Properties.
    Here, you have to choose the call of the Security tab.
    Then select the user and allow the full control option.

  • LegeCy medical application requires administrator rights to run on Windows XP but application resides on the SBS 2008 Server

    Hi all

    Application is a medical Client / Server using SQL in the database model. and resides on the SBS 2008 with XP Server and client computers.

    Rather that to load the client on windows XP, it would not sense to simply run the application console using the Terminal Server services and configure the application to start an hour of connection on. Given that the application requires administrator rights to run, how can I assign admin right only on demand, so when they connect, they can use the application with the given admin rights but do not have access to the rest of the server or control?

    Been awhile and a very little bit of rust, but I know it should be easy... losing sleep reading my series of the voume of support docs... :)

  • Dropbox requires administrator rights to continue, but could not raise (an error unexpected ole32::CoCreatGuid (i sr1) I)

    Hi, I keep getting the error message: Dropbox requires administrator rights to continue, but could not raise (an unexpected error (error unexpected ole32::CoCreatGuid (i sr1) I) when trying to install Dropbox, but I can not install and update other programs.)  My antivirus found 3 viruses today and removed. I can't reinstall Windows is an option, but I am abroad now and do not want to do it until I got home...
    Please, help :)

    I think that you have already found a solution for this problem.

    But my problem was a little like you, when the box has been commissioning it fails due to administrator permissions.

    Solution:

    -> Open TaskManager

    -> Go to startup

    -> Select Dropbox and press the left button of the mouse to properties

    -> A obtained the compatibility chart

    -> Check the box "run this program as Administrator"

    Fact.

  • Windows Vista does not work for all programs requiring administrator rights

    I have Windows Vista Business SP1 on a Dell XPS laptop. He worked from 3-4 years. It seems that after a recent update (in the last week), I rebooted the laptop and after that Vista can not run programs that require administrator privileges. This includes most of the items in the Panel, the observer of events, computer management, elevated command prompt and so on.

    After logging in, I get a notification of the task bar that says "Windows cannot connect to the customer service group policy."

    When I try to any program requiring administrative privileges (for example, msconfig), I get an error "Windows cannot find C:\Windows\system32\msconfig.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again"

    I restored the system (from safe mode) for a day where it seems to be ok, but the problem remains.

    The sound in the system tray icon is a trademark of the Red Cross on it, but sounds work ok.

    Analyses of virus through McAfee (all installed updates and latest virus definitions) showed no signs of the virus.

    As already mentioned in the original post, System Restore does not resolve the problem. I got to the new vista installation to fix the problem. Some windows updates and reboot after applying the update seems to be the cause.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting the request in the Microsoft community forums!
    It seems that you can't download anything on the computer due to the lack of administrator privilege. Provide us the information to help you further.

    1. what exactly you are trying to download?
    2. where you are trying to download from?
    3. you receive an error message?
    4. don't you make changes on the computer before the show?

    Try the suggestions and check if you are able to download correctly.

    Method 1:
    You can try to enable disable User Account Control (UAC) and check if that helps.

    Note: Enable UAC after verification.

    User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.

    Also to run a scan for virus/malware online on the computer.

    Method 2:
    You try to grant permissions to everyone-

    a. go to C:\Users\ then click right click on the "Your user name" folder and choose Properties.

    b. go to the Security tab and click Edit , then click on Add => Advanced.

    c. If you click Advanced now click find now and choose everyone and click on Ok.

    d. then click Ok and now click on Allow-online full control => Ok.

    Method 3:
    If the steps above fail then you can create a new account to use with administrator rights and then try to make changes and check if this works for you.

  • CS5 requires administrator rights?

    I work in a COMPUTER assistance service, and many of our users who are just beginning to get Adobe CS5 are experancing problems.

    All of our users DO not have the admin rights.

    Whenever they launch Photoshop cs5, this is the mistake they receive:

    The instruction at "0x0fcaa8dc" referenced memory at "0x000b0000". The memory could not be "read".

    Screenshot:http://imgur.com/LISVn.jpg

    When we run the program with an administrator account, it opens fine without any errors.

    It's the first version of Adobe CS that we encountered this problem with. CS4 was running like a champ before for all non-admin users.

    Anyone know if there are some files that I need permission to get this to work for our users.

    Thank you.

  • CC now requires administrator rights, why?

    We have a group of CC accounts who are sitting behind a firewall for business on managed computers.  until today, everything CC installed properly and without problems.  We had to open the ports to adobe at first, but everything worked without problem.

    Now if I open Office CC, I am prompted with a update or quit message, if I try to update I have now tells me that I don't have sufficient administrator rights.  in truth, I never did! I never needed them for adobe CC.  So, why the change?

    To save me strenuous exercise of HIM asking to try to find out what can be done.  Nobody knows what can be done to solve this problem...

    should I ask HIM to do?

    Do not give the full administrator rights!

    I can't believe that adobe would force a requirement for administrator rights, except potentially the market of the client company.

    Any help appreciated,

  • iPad (64 gb, WiFi) Air2: could not be updated to 9.3.4 (error 1403, iTunes: damaged when downloading software)

    #1

    Hello!
    I have an iPad Air2 (64 gb, WiFi) that is running on iOS 93.3. I connected to iTunes and tried to upgrade to 9.3.4 that breaks down repeatedly.1)
    I tried to do the upgrade on three different computers (a Mac, Win two) using iTunes 12.4.3. ITunes always download the firmware completely (about 1.85 GB) file, and then says he's working on the file downloaded and said then the software was damaged during the download (err 1403). This happened several times and on several days.
    I could upgrade an iPad and an iPod touch (gen 5) 3 on one of the computers in each network without any problem, so the networks and iTunes seem to work fine.
    2)
    I tried to download 9.3.4 manually and install it. The file was downloaded to my iPad to iTunes, but stopped at halfway of the progress on the ipad and iPad bar was blocked in recovery mode.
    Recovery (and return to factory settings) in 9.3.4 has led to the above error.
    3)
    I downloaded 9.3.3 manually and recovered to that. Now everything works well again after restoring a backup-Conclusions:
    ITunes and my network have no problem or other devices would not have had the upgrade.
    There is no material error in my Air2, otherwise 9.3.3 recovery would not have worked.
    Since I've tried downloading several times there has only very little chance that the file was very damaged during the download. So what is wrong here? I searched on the net but not found an adequate answer.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 required administrator rights

    I have Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (I know, I know) and when I try to run it from a limited account, I get an error stating that I have administrator privileges. Is it possible to replace that or enter my password once? I don't need my children asking me my password every time they want to play. It doesn't seem like it does all what changes the computer, why can't it be used in a user account only limited?
