    I cannot run the PC as admin, even I'm logged as admin!!!


    Well, I have this problem. I have 64-bit PC with OS Win 7, and I'm logged as admin. But, when I try to install something or do something else, there is a message saying that: I cannot do that because I'm not an admin on this PC.Is there anything I must adjust in my PC? If someone has any kind of explanation for this problem, I would be really happy.

    Hello Sandra, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    It sounds like you may need to right click on the installation file (or whatever else) and click on Run as administrator for it to be able run properly. :)

    Hope this helps,
