When trying to update, I get a message that says I don't have the required system permissions & contact system administrator. It's my computer and I'm the only person who uses it. Help, please. I use mac osx 10.4.11 thanks for answer, michael

Hi, I have all the software installed on this computer and have even updated before firefox. now, by clicking on the tab "check for updates" I get the above message. Since it is my computer I guess I am the administrator and I had no difficulties to install the software before. What could happen? appreciate any help on this. Thanks, michael

If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)

  • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
  • Install the new version you downloaded

Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

  • There are 9 users on my drive C but Iam the "only person" who use my pc - it's strange?

    My OS is Windows 7 SP1 - a Gateway desktop computer I bought for me in 2009 - while I was trying to get administrative privileges to my pc as 'run as' is not acceptable for a Fix It solution. I stumbled on what might or might not be a problem, and of course, I would appreciate your opinion on the fact that I have (the only person who ever uses this pc) 9 users on my C drive. To simplify my concern here is what I want to know: can I remove one of these if they do not have a purpose?

  • How can I get additional user accounts get rid as I am the only person who uses my computer?

    I'm the only user on my computer, so I am also administrator.  I don't want to deal with all the extra files created between User1 and administrator.  How to become just the Administrator without additional user?

    Don't use NO Windows 7 with a single account. In Windows 7, the built-in Administrator account is disabled by default, and although it is possible to allow, this process may be beyond what you feel comfortable with.
    WHEN, and not IF you have problems to access your user account, you will have considerable problems if you don't have a SINGLE account to use.
     
    You need to forget about something to do with XP and create a user with administrator privileges, account (let's call him Admin or similar) and give it a password. Keep this account for access to emergency and for elevation purposes. Then change your account to a Standard user account. (There is absolutely no need to run as administrator on a daily basis in Windows 7, Windows 7 has the function of 'right-click-Run as Administrator "when you need administrator privileges). You'll be much safer and better protected than that.

  • Whenever I open FireFox browser, I get a message that says, "you are not on the latest version of FireFox." and says click here to upgrade now?

    Actually, it says it's 'you are not on the latest version of Firefox. Update today to get the best of the Web! ", but I use the latest version of Firefox, FireFox 9.0, so there is nothing to be upgraded to! So, why my browser seems determined to force an upgrade on me I already have?

    Do you not see that the message on the site www.google.com/firefox

    The site www.google.com/firefox has been used in versions of Firefox 3.

    The current versions of Firefox 4 + is no longer use this website from Google as home page, but use the build-in on: home page as the home page.

    Google is no longer seems to keep this page and assumed that you are using an older version of Firefox, if you visit again you and this site warns that you are using an older version of Firefox and invites you to update.

    You can ignore this message if you are running the latest version of Firefox, as shown in the window "help > About" (Firefox is updated).

    You can use a different page than the homepage as subject: House or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle).

  • A message that says I don't have permission to access my programs.

    My computer does not allow me to access the internet and some if not most of my programs. The error message indicates that I have perhaps not allowed access to these that I am the administrator on the computer. What is happening and how to fix

    Hi MaribelAnders,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. You have security software installed on the computer?
    3. When was the last time it was working fine?

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

    I also suggest that you scan and remove malware or computer virus infections and check if it helps.

  • I cannot perform certain functions because he says that I'm not an administrator, but it's my computer and I'm the only one who uses this computer__

    I cannot perform certain functions because he says that I'm not an administrator, but it's my computer and I'm the only person who uses this computer

    What are the functions? More global changes (changes to the system, software installation) require an elevation in Vista/Windows 7.

    Changes to the built-in Vista administrator account

    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=942956

    User - recommended configuration (Vista and Win7) accounts

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all other Windows 7, Vista, and modern operating systems are operating systems multi-user 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 on Vista and 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 it may require more work you want to do. Better not to get into 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). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Please wait while Windows configures FAX"... this process stops and I get another message that says:"the component you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or another removable disk that is not available. "

    Original title: widows installation problem

    I have Windows XP Professional running on a desktop older.  I cleaned the disk and I would use it only as a 'internet '.  It works well and response times are pretty fast, but when I connect I get a box that says "Please wait while Windows configures FAX"... this process stops and I get another message that says "the component you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or another removable disk that is not available", "put the 'FAX' disk and click OK. , "" Use Source: '1' "»

    The first question is I do not use a fax application and never did, I have tried every disk I can think of to complete the process, but I get the same message with each one 'the path '1' is not found. "Make sure you have access to this place and try gain or find the installation 'FAX, MSI' package in a folder from which you can install the FAX product." .. then "error 1706 - FAX." Valid any source not found for the FAX product.  Windows Installer cannot continue. »

    This will take place two or three times at the beginning upward.  How can I prevent Windows Setup tries to install something that I do not use or do not seem to have?  I deleted any fax program, that I could find on the computer, and nothing seems to work.

    Hello
