Solved windows 7 says I need administrators permission

[Bonnie Jean]

Tried trial program and still problem with IE

I put in the trial convertXDVD program and the first time it seemed like after it said I needed the administrators permission it went nuts and wouldn't close giving me 2 messages which I included here. I had to just force a restart to get it off the screen and stop the flow of messages. I also saw a quick message saying it had been installed wrong. I reinstalled it and this time I only got the error message of not being the administrator. I clicked on install as administrator and run as administrator etc. No difference. I talked hubby into letting me try it on his as one of the other free ones I put on took 3½ hours to say the 2 videos were converted but to large for the disc and that never happens in convertx even with a 3rd short one. And when I removed the one video there was no way to burn it. will try it on his and buy if it works faster. He has a smaller one and a lap top so it maybe just the pc he has.

Also when I click on a link in my emails the page comes up often in such small print I can't see it. No way to go to view and zoom it. I am attaching those shots too.
Thank you for your help.

did you try this yet?

right click and click properties
select the security tab on the top
select advanced
select the owner tab
click edit
click you're user account, if you are the only user on the system and are an administrator, i'd recommend just selecting administrators. hope this help!

 

[Bonnie Jean]

Oh I am terribly sorry I meant to answer this also. I feel really stupid but what am I right clicking on? We have been covering so many topics and problems that keep popping up I just got lost. If you explain a little more I will certainly try it. Forgive redfang when I was answering here hubby was waiting for supper! I went to fast.

 

[Bonnie Jean]

Red Fang: I decided you meant the free burning program I have and I did what you said and saved it all and then when I opened it I right clicked and put run as administrator but it didn't work. Good idea though as my name was not marked in the section so it could have been it. Thank you!!

 

[d00p98uy]

sorry, i meant the movies or cartoons, try that and report back if it works -- sorry for the trouble
And the fact the burning program is also now in you're name is good also

 

[Bonnie Jean]

Ok I did it on the movie and I still get permission denied. Do you guys think I should make an appointment and take my pc in for a wipe out and reinstall? I have room on an external to move everything over so I wouldn't lose what I have but then would that just take along the problem and I would be no where. I can just make a list of the programs I have and move the pictures and my Paint Shop pro things. That has been on the pc forever. I supose I can leave everything but the pictures and my psp program on the external? Leaving it all up to you what to do.

I'd wait a bit longer to reinstall, somem more people may have some ideas
plus i have a couple more tricks:
since you have now taken ownership of the item, try doing this:
1.right click the files you want to burn and click properties
2.go to security tab
3. click edit
4.an click full control for system your account, and Administrators

(try doing this with your burning software also)

---If this does not work---
open cmd as Admin (type cmd in start menu, right click and select run as administrator)
type this:
Net User YourUserAccount
(YourUserAccont standing for the name of your user on the computer)

After that, try again.

Tried the new suggestions and failed badly

Ok screen shots again as I get to wordy. First clicking on file I wanted to convert and burn as you said I couldn't have both click full control for system your account, and Administrators. Only 1 or the other shows up. I clicked on the administrator one and closed out and did the same on the burner. The #3 screen shot shows the diffference it shows allowed all by itself but it is such a pale gray it is like they aren't marked?
Ok it didn't work so tried several different things in system 32 and nothing was accepted. I know I was stupid with the first one! Brain freeze.

What are the permissions for

Bonnie (Bonniehp\Bonnie)

 

[Bonnie Jean]

Not a clue. They just show up that way.

 

[VistaKing]

When you click on it . It should show you want is checked .

 

[d00p98uy]

sorry, since i now see your username is Bonny type this in:
net user Bonnie

 

[d00p98uy]

after you click edit in security tab click all 3 of the users and click full controll hope this helps

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another idea- type this in then restart your computer from the start menu:

net users Administrator /active:yes

If there is a new administrator account on the logon screen login to it and try burning the files again (remember if they are on your desktop or my downloads or my videos or something like that in your old account, so when selecting the file you will have to go to C:> Users>(YourUserName)>and select where the files are from there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the above fails to work go to go back to your regular user account then navigate to

My Computer> Local disk (C>

press Ctrl+A to select all files, and using take ownership (if you still have it, if not redownload it) and click take ownership, of all the files, wait the 5-10 min (i think that's how long it takes) for all the cmd boxes to close then try reburning the the cartoons


--ps If you wish to delete the new admin account, type this in cmd when running it as administrator:

net users Administrator /active:no

Sorry I have had a really bad day and not been able to do much that uses my eyes. Will go over this and try it as soon as I can see clearly and my head isn't pounding like it has today.

 

[Bonnie Jean]

I can only highlight one or the other of the choices for Administrator. I have tried both and nothing different happens.
Now maybe I can do the other instructions but I always click on start and right next to the search thing is shut down or restart. So that is always done. Is there a different way? I am having a hard time following directions. I am so sorry. I read and read and it isn't sticking. I will have to write it all down and go from there I guess. The pain fogs my brain and very little sticks. It seems like there is something in this pc that is just not acting right. My incredimail is a mess and I finally just stopped all the pop ins but it is still a mess. I did what Incredimail said and lost every thing in the program. Lucky I transferred all the files over. Took hours to do. I run scans and the on line scan and nothing shows up. Hubby is gone and I am having to do everything and it is so hard to walk and that isn't helping.

I've already had Bonnie try establishing a new Admin-level account to see if her account is the problem. She reported back the issues were the same with it so she is now abandoning it for her previous Admin account.

Bonnie confirm that your Account-type in User Accounts is Administrative-level and not Standard User.

I deliberately didn' t have her enable the Built-in Admin Account because of the risks involved.

 

[Bonnie Jean]

When I go to the change accounts thing the only thing that shows up is Bonnie Administrator and Guest which is no one. So that is ok right? Besides the not burning issue is there any way to get my internet to show correctly. I sent in an attachment showing if I click on any link to take me to something I have no way to do anything some come so small I can't read them. I have to click on the envelope in the right corner and it sends me the link via email where I copy it off and go back on internet and paste it in and then can go to the page where I can change the size etc. This never happened before this stuff! I can live with it but so many things are sent to me with just a click on this from friends. Thank you for helping I know everyone is racking their brains thinking of something else to try. I do appreciate it. If this keeps up we will be sending Christmas Cards every year!!

If an internet window opens too small when you click on a link as described, drag the window to the size you prefer, then click several times the middle Maximize button at the top right next to the Red X. This should eventually program it. Same for any window's size.

If that fails we have a small program for you that can program you Window sizes to open where you want each. Just resize the windows where you want it and it will remember it each time for that type window: http://www.pcworld.com/article/238654/resize_windows_easily_and_precisely_with_free_app_sizer.htmlhttp://www.pcworld.com/article/238654/resize_windows_easily_and_precisely_with_free_app_sizer.html

The page opens all the way but the print is so tiny and there is no way to make it bigger as there is nothing at the top to do to fix it. I will check out the program you just listed and see what it is. But this problem is only when I click on a link in Facebook or in emails. If I click on IE icon I get a normal page.

 

[gregrocker]

If the windows open to the size you want, or hold the size you drag them to and set, then there's no reason to use the third-party program.

For adjusting the type size on any Internet page, hold Cntrl button and keep pressing the + or - key until it is the size you want. Most pages should remember this sizing once you tell them.
