need administrator privileges to run flight simulator 9

[Guest]

I just installed fs9 and I get a message box: "please log in with
administrator privileges and try again".
start/contrtol panel/administrative tools/computer managment/local users and
groups/users/george(my user name)/properties/member of as a member of
administrators.
What am I doing wrong??

Thank you in advance.

Hello!

Try creating a temporary admin account and installing from there. (Control
Panel / Users).

Failing that try booting the machine into safe mode (press F8 several times
just before you'd usually see the Windows logo when turning your machine on)
it'll give you a list of options if you choose 'safe mode' the machine will
boot with the bare minimum, so yes it'll look a little odd. On the login
screen it should now show the "Administer" account, log on to that and try
there also. However FS9 may simply refuse to install at all if you're in
safe mode, in which case just reboot your machine and we'll try and think of
something else.
