I am the only account on my pc and am the admin. When I try to install office 07 it says that I have to be logged in as the admin to install it, how come vista doesn't recognize me?

When you put in the CD close anything that comes up. Go to your CD drive in explorer, right click setup.exe and select run as administrator

you dont have to do that if you disabled user account control.

Go to start and click your user image at the top right and turn it off from there.
