Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Administration / March 2007Changing Administrative rights on my Vista
I just got a new computer with Vista. My system was used as a model and the administrative rights are to the company I bought it from. I am trying to install a few programs that give me the error message that "I have no administrative rights". Anyone know how to change this? I am new to Vista and not to good yet at getting around. Any ideas would be great. Hello, In Windows Vista, even though you are an administrator, programs that do not ask to use your admin power ("Windows needs your permission to continue") are not allowed to use it. Programs designed for Vista will ask you for this permission whenever they require it. Older programs will not know how to do this, so you must manually give them such permission. Right-click on them and click Run As Administrator.  Signature- JB Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ That worked just fine. Thank you. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Older programs will not know how to do this, so you must manually give them > such permission.
