Why my computer doesn't recognize me as an administrator?

• Computer doesn't recognize me as an administrator, I am the only one!

  I just tried to download an update for a codec RAW to Win Live Photo Gallery.  Download would not end because he said I would need administrative access.  This often happens during the execution of other functions as well.  Quite often, I want to delete unused and useless files and it won't let me because I do not have administrator permisssion (or something to that effect), but he gives me the opportunity to enter a password in the Administratorr.  I'm the only user on my computer and I looked and I have my account set like me to be the administrator.  What can I do to fix this?  It's really annoying when you run what should be some of the simpler tasks to run into this kind of roadblocks.

  You must right click on some applications during their installation, then click "Run as Administrator".

  When you want to delete files in the Windows system folders, then you have several options:
  • Temporarily turn off UAC.
  • Make fashion safe.
  • Restart Windows Explorer under elevated privileges.
  I recommend that you click Start, click Help, then seek help on UAC to familiarize themselves with the concept.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
  correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• Computer doesn't recognize burner double layer Asus.

  Original title: Installation disks.

  I installed a burner double layer of Asus which worked fine and was given the drive letter g. My second drive was defective, so I bought a different burner Asus from the same company. I asked the seller if there is a conflict because the two discs were the same. He said no, because the computer would assign a different drive letter to the new drive. When I turned on the computer after the installation it recognized the new hardware and it gave the letter s. When I went to burn data, I noticed that the g drive was gone and the software did not recognize this drive. I restarted the computer and found that the two drives disappeared and I can't access either. Can anyone help please.

  These DVD players would be IDE?  IDE disks need to have the jumpers set to Master or Slave, when connecting TWO drives on the same IDE cable these discs were both probably "sold" with the cavaliers IDE setting 'default' value and they are both the same.  IDE see then the player and the possbily ignore the other «first»

• Computer doesn't recognize internet connection

  My HP dv6000 family Window Vista premium Service pack 2 64-bit does not recognize my internet connection (local area connection or wireless network connection). The network icon has a red x and it says not connected, but actually I am connected to my wireless network. Also on the network and sharing Center I can't see any connection (no map) but don't forget, there is a connection with my wireless (a Netgear router on my desktop computer); If I open my wireless connection, he said that the network type is an Access Point. How can I change this? How can I make my connection wireless private when the connection does not appear on the network and sharing Center? I deleted my wireless network and set up again and always say the same thing.

  I am able to use the internet, but I can't update any program using the updated window or another service on my laptop. I already did a restore of the system, but all that the same stills.
