Tjaa! Jag har köpt mig en dator med Windows 7 (såklart, annars hade jag vart på ett annat forum..) och jag har en del program och spel på min externa hårddisk jag som ska föra över. Och allt går bra fram tills det kommer till exe filerna, då står det: Du måste ha behörighet...

Hi! I was tired of not being able to save files in Program Files without starting the program [that saved files] manually as administrator. So I ran the command attrib -R "C:\program files" in the command prompt, and now Windows 7 seems to have reverted to some kind of default protection mode...

I have just moved from the wonderful world of XP up to the dreaded Windows 7. So much has changed and it's going to take quite a bit to get use to this new interface. My problem has more to do with my living arrangements than computer. I am on the 3rd floor of a house with little to no A/C...

I know that you don't have admin rights with Windows 7 dispite being discribed as one, and being listed as one, and even have all the abilities. That's like being the CEO of a company, yet you have to ask the mail boys permission to do anything. I'm quite tired of answering 20 questions, I'm...

I'm trying to copy a series of files from my old XP machine to the new Win 7 machine. I've turned off User access control, I made myself the owner of the machine, etc., the files on the old machine have no permissions preventing the copying. I am the owner of both machines and there is no...

I have this computer since October '09 working with Vista. Right before christmas I updated to W7 Famillial Premium and problems started. First, sometimes after I wake up the comp from hibernation mode, I have no sound. If I restart it, the sound will come back. Also, it looks like it happends...

I need to install Autodesk Inventor 2010 (Education) for the Robotics team at my school. We are allowed to do this, legitimately, so it's not like we're dealing with illegitimate software. For some reason, I was able to download the 200k installer.exe but I can't run it, even in XP SP2...

I can not turn off read-only on my music files which are on a detachable hard drive. Apple iTunes will not let me customize the titles, description, etc since the files are read-only. I remove the read-only in Windows Explorer, for both the directory or even the individual song, apply and exit...

I upgraded today from Windows XP to Windows 7. I have a drive that was created in Windows XP that I'm trying to delete folders from. I get the message: "You need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder." So I click Continue. It then says, "You need permission to perform...

Hi Everyone, How come I keep getting admin prompts and warnings and sometimes am even told I need to seek admin permission to do things even though my account is an admin account?? Many thanks Dan :)

Hey everyone, I'm at my wits end with this. I've never had any issues installing an operating system in the past and I'm rather embarrassed it's happened to me with what should be such a simple installation. I have partitioned a 260 gig hard drive. I have windows xp up and running on the first...

I ran one of the performance reports today, which claims I have a disk with the dirty bit set. Recommended running chkdsk..... Fired up a command prompt and typed chkdsk v: /f/r/x And got: Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in...

Hi I actually fixed this problem while writing this, fix at the bottom! I have got Windows 7 Ultimate installed on a laptop. Everything works fine except for Media Player 12. I have two log ons, one for me (Admin rights) and one for the kids (standard user). They kids can open Media player...

Having a issue with our new WIndows 7 machines. Have added pc to domain (2003 Server/AD), have added domain user to local admin group (e.g. DOMAIN\user) Can run applications as administrator as long as they are connected physically to domain. Pull the plug, the user DOES NOT have admin rights...

So I am trying to recover my files from the hard drive I was using on my last computer and I have to enable access to them to the admin on windows 7. Right now I am finding myself having to manage permission individual file by individual file is there a faster way to do it to whole folders so...

A website I use for work was giving me problems. I contacted the company's tech support and they said in order to use their service in Windows 7/ IE 8 I had to run IE as administrator. This does the trick but I don't want to have to go through the step of "running as administrator" every time I...

It happened a week ago and I haven't found a solution. I tried searching here and some other sites for a solution but nothing helped. Basically, when I click the wmplayer exe (both x86 and x64) it just does nothing. If I try playing an associated video/audio file it says: "Server execution...
