Are you sure you're an admin? Do you know how to install a program via command prompt?

 

[computer123]

Windows 7. Yes I'm admin because im the only one with an account and this is my personal computer. And i don't.

Have you right-clicked on the installer icon and clicked "Run as Administrator"?

Just what I was about to say, friends at door
He says he is an admin. Strange...
If he's the only user of the computer, then surely he is automatically admin though?

 

[lucasbytegenius]

Not quite. Especially if he's got UAC enabled, but we won't get to that yet. XP had a hidden super admin account, but I have been unsuccessful in finding one in 7.

 

[computer123]

Thankyou it seems that Run as Administrator worked.

 

[lucasbytegenius]

Glad I could help.

 

[computer123]
