| | Operation requires elevation Hi. I'm new to Windows 7. I've set up and use a standard account. When I try to do certain operations such as run System Monitor to see why my usb drive won't eject, I get the message, "Operation requires elevation." When I right-click the command prompt and select "Run as administrator" I get the same message instead of being prompted to enter the admin password. What can I do to get around this? |

| | Do you have an administrator user available? Or just the one "standard" user account? |

| | Hello MyFathersSon, The only thing you can do is either enter the administrator password, or have the administrator (Father) do it.  Sorry, Shawn |

| | Thanks folks for the replies. I have the builtin administrator account enabled. I don't understand why, if elevation is needed, that Windows doesn't prompt me for a password instead of just blocking all access. Does anyone know how I can change permissions using the Administrator account to allow my standard user account to elevate all things on entry of a password? |

| | You might check to make sure that UAC is turned on using the highest top level. It should prompt you if it is. User Account Control - UAC - Change Notification Settings Hope this helps, Shawn |
