account restricted?

[Guest]

when i run norton anti virus. i am trying to turn on the intrusion detector.
when i click on it it come up with this message "failed to save settings.
Please verify your windows account is not restricted. I am the administrator
on this computer. also on some of my documents and just different saved
files, it will tell me " access denied". could someone please tell me what
or how to fix this.

Hi,

As to the access denied messages, this is a permissions issue and you need
to take ownership. Please see this link on "taking ownership" of a folder:

It is likely the same problem with the Norton issue in that it is attempting
to save the settings in a folder where the account you are running does not
have write permissions.
