some progs only start if run as administrator used?
Doing my head in
I have clean re-installed win7 32 bit yesterday after formatting my c: drive.
I have installed several programs (firefox, chrome, Winamp) each ran initialy OK but none now run unless i choose to run as administrator (i am the administrator, so when this option is chosen i dont need to enter the password). When attempted from the guest acct again "run as administrator" is needed, then the password prompt is provided.
I have installed VLC and MS Office 2010, these progs run fine without the need to use run as administrator for myself or the guest account.
This seemed to happen amid the multitude of microsoft updates, as on original installation all worked fine.
I now also find that windows update hangs (this also only runs as administrator) while attempting to update SP1s for office 2010 KB2510690 and Win7 SP1 KB976932.
advice gladly accepted
