My administrative account is not allowing administrative priveleges
Hi, I just completed a factory reinstall of my HP Computer, 64-bit, Windows 7.
I only created one user account at the prompt, as the computer was setting up.
I've made sure that the account is listed as having "administrator".
However, after installing a number of programs onto my computer, I find that some of them only run after checking "run this program as an administrator" checked in the properties settings.
That's fine, I don't care about that. The question I have, is that there are some programs that specifically won't install because they claim I do not have administrative privileges, and some of the installers do NOT have "run this program as an administrator" even as an option, so I cannot install some software, even though I have as much administrative permissions as I think is possible.
Is there a reason why the only user account on the computer wouldn't be seen as an administrator, even though I have myself set as an administrator?
Thanks in advance.
