I have been trying to install Adobe Air and every time it starts to install
I agree to the user agreement starts installing an comes back with error you may not have administrator privileges check with your administrator. I am the administrator an it is password protected. I use
to be able to find the administrator and other users in the Control panel
but all I get is Win 7's users screens that take me everywhere but to the page I could change any users permissions by selecting or not what
a user in my case the Admin had access to or in this case installing programs. Sorry this was a little long, can anyone who has Win 7 give me a little advice as to how to get to that page and check the privileges
Need Help !! Hal

While you may own the administrator account on your PC you may not have complete administrator privileges and access. Follow this tutorial to ensure that you actually have full administrator control;

Nice, the information one can pickup while browsing articles. I just implemented this method. Thanks for the reference. It was spot on for me.

You're welcome.
BTW there is one caveat to the tutorial I posted and that is: I would never implement expanding full access control to all users on a home PC where the user group exceeds more than a couple people. I'm assuming that the OP has sole use or allows limited access to the PC in question. So full access to "administrator" and "all users" in a home versus public environment is OK most of the time.

Thanks to All who helped, I found what was wrong. Glary Utilities was the culprit and user mistakes. bcmink thanks for the link! Somehow GU disabled the Administrator account which is a built-in account. Using CP an Administrative Tools-Local Users- Administrator had been disabled, 1 click
of the mouse I was back in business. Had to delete myself as a user as I was setup as a Admin., how that happened no idea. Thanks to the Hog and the members who helped. I am sitting pretty. Thanks Hal
