In Windows 7 there is a slight difference between a user with
administrative privileges and THE Administrator. In Home Premium you
will have to enable the Administrator account in order to access it.
Either bring up a command window, START>>>Accessories or use the RUN
command under the START button and put in this command
net user administrator /active:yes
and then press Enter.
Now the Administrator account is enabled. Go to Control panel >>>
User Accounts and give the Administrator a password. Try to install
again and you may be asked if you wish to install as THE
Administrator, or you may be asked for your Administrator password.
If that doesn't work log in as THE Administrator and you should be
able to install your program... just make sure you install for
Everybody and not just the administrator... you will usually be asked
who you want to install for during setup. Once the program is
installed, log back in with your normal user name.
The purpose of all this hassle is to make it difficult for nasty
programs to self install.
