When I try to run certain programs they say the need to be run as an adminstrator and fail to execute properly. The thing is I'm running them as an administrator. build 7000 64 bit.

There are two layers of Administrator in Vista and Windows 7. Right click the .exe file and select "Run as Administrator". This is done so that malware can not run from within an Administrator account.

That second pic isn't a pic you want to show on here mate!!
And those prompts aren't telling you they're not being run as admin. It's just reminding you that the patch won't work if it isn't run with admin privileges.

Hello my friends !
Is it possible to set a program to ALWAYS open as administrator???

I click on it and set run as admin but then i check back and the run as admin is unchecked again! strange!!

Also is it possible to make a shortcut to a file that will open it as administrator???

Thanks :)

edit ... i mean what are the arguments to run for example a program as administrator through cmd
