Vista run as admin

SamG · 12 Jun 2007 at 13:30

I'm trying to run a hp printer set up disc but it says I need to run it as Admin.

Now, I am in the Admin account and I still get the message.

There is also no run as admin when I right click on anything.

Please help.

I think there is 2 solutions here
1) right click on the setup.exe (or install.exe or whatever) and there is a run as administrator option

2) enable the administrator account (reset the password if you can) log in as administrator and run the setup.exe

its out aged software mate, theres no such thing as admin in vista now, as thats what UAC is for. Download the new software from HP website, goodluck as HP hasn't updated much software yet.

Thanks both of you.

It seems the software was the problem but HP had a vista version on their website.
