Windows 7 does not allow a CD to load?

I just finished building a new computer from parts and loaded in the Windows 7 OS. There is only one account on it, mine, designated as the Administrator.
But I ran into a problem when I wanted to load in an application program CD that I have had for years, the OS refused to do it, claiming that I did not have the privileges necessary to do so, and that I have to log off and log back in as the Adminstrator. I have never had any problems loading this CD in my other computers using XP.
What is going on? I am the Administrator of the account, and as I stated before, there is the only one account on the system. Why is the OS not reconizing this?
Any suggestions?
 
Is it only this one program that won`t load ?

When you say you have had it for years it could be it is not compatible with windows 7

1. I don't know, I had no need of others, but will try to see what happens.

2. That is quite possible, I did not think about that possibility
But why would it then say that I did not have the privileges to do so and have to log on as the Adminstrator? I have had other programs that I downloaded from the web where I could not use it and it would say that it was incompatible with Windows 7.
 
UPDATE - By getting into the Account Control Settings and lowering the level of control to the bottom in the Administrator Account, I was able to load in the program from the CD with no objections of the OS.
I do not quite understand that, since I thought that that control was only there to inform you that something was trying to change your settings. IMO loading a program from a CD should not do that.:confused:
Anyway, thanks for your replies, guys.
