Can anyone help?
« on: April 02, 2010, 19:08:03 »
I am trying to install a vodophone mobile broadband stick on sons pc
There are two accounts which both show as having administrator privileges
The programme starts to extrat but a message comes up saying you need Admin privileges to install

I started pc in safe mode and made another account with admin priv but that doesnt work either

I wonder if it's a virus? Before I reformat the d**n thing has anyone got anything I could try

Thanks in advance

Fairly common under Vista?  are u on Vista..

Try this
1/ Locate the applications icon or short cut and Right click on it.

2/ From the Drop Down Menu select the Run As Administrator option.

3/ Now click the application icon or short cut and it should run.

4/ When the User Account Control (UAC) message appears enter the appropriate credentials if you are logged on as a standard user, and click the Submit button.

5/ If you are the Administrator and UAC is not configured to always require credentials, just Click the Continue button and the application should start.
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!
