Who am I?

[Guest]

Hello. I have got the printer HP Photosmart 7260 series. Because there is not
drivers for this printer in VISTA I dowloaded aplication from HP site. But
during instalation (setup. exe) I have got the communicate that I am not
permision to install this aplication. I am the only user on my computer and I
am the administrator, I thought. So I was forced to install driver for HP
Photosmart 7800. It works but ... who am I according to VISTA? Is there any
possibility to install the above aplication?. Regards

Right click on the installer and choose Run as Administrator.

I did it. But System informed me that that this programm can not "run as
administrator". According to VISTA I ought to log out and log again as
administrator. Do you understand it? Regards

All users in Vista run as Standard. This is different from XP, in that, in
XP you could have a true Administrator level account and in Vista, you can
not unless you log-on to Vista in Safe Mode. It is one way that Vista
attempts to enhance security against malware from installing itself, or
Standard Users from changing things the Administrator does not want them to
change.

The difference between a Standard User and an Administrator-level User in
Vista is if you are logged on as an the Administrator-level User, you will
receive a prompt from the UAC whenever an application requires
Administrator-level privileges and must simply click a button, whereas the
Standard User accounts must enter the Administrator-level account password
in order to continue from the same prompt.
