Administrator LiveOne Care Problems

[Jbroxton316]

LiveOne Care tells me that there are actions that I need to take (backing up
files, and dowloading some updates). However, when I go into the program and
click the button to do the recommended actions an error pops up that says
"Windows LiveOne Care cannot perform this action for you. You must be logged
on as an administrator on this computer to perform this action." However, I
only have one account on this computer and that is an Administrator account
that I use. I've even tried to create another account that was an
Administrator account to try to perform LiveOne Care's recommended actions
and it gives me the same error message. Please help, what do I do?

try running the program as an administrator. Right click the program and
click "Run As Administrator". If it still tells you that you need admin
privileges, then I would try contacting microsoft. I use Live OneCare and
once I had to get tech support. There was a little bit of a wait for the
chat but it was worth it. Fixed my problem easily. I cant even remember what
the problem was but the guy just sent me a tiny file and after i ran it all
was good. If you cant get any help from tech support try uninstalling and
then reinstalling using the admin accout that was made the first time you
booted your pc.

As far as I know, you are not running a program as administrator just because
you are administrator.
In the dayly work, you are running like a standard user.
But you has the permission to run as an administrator if you wish and choose
it by right-clicking a program and "Run as administrator".
Switching off the UserControl makes you run as adminastrator all the time -
as well as I understood. But you are still being warned, when some actions
needs admin rights.
