UAC install issues

[Guest]

I just got the computer today with Vista Prem. I am the only account on the
computer with Admin rights. I tried to install the software for my printer.
It says that the OS is compatable but I don't have admin rights and it
cancels out. I turned off the UAC, restarted the computer and tried again.
It still tells me I do not have admin rights. Am I missing a step in Vista?

Hi,

Turn on UAC and install with 'Run as administrator' under right mouse.

I did this as well. I've verified the admin rights and tried the run as...
is there anything else?

Con tact the maker of the software in question and ask about obtaining
a Vista-compatible version.
