Guest trumpeter48 Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I am running Vista Home Premium, not joined to a domain. I since have found out that if I go to users in the control panel and then deactivate User Account Control, the issue disappears. Thanks for your questions.

Guest trumpeter48 Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I'll remember that also. If I am logged in as the admin, isn't that good enough?

Guest oscar Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Yes, if you are running as the Administrator, you should be able to install new software. With UAC on a pop-up will ask for Administrator permission. If you’re signed in as Administrator all you need to do is mouse click Yes or Enter in most cases. With some old software that was designed for XP or even Win 98 you may find it better to install the software using the Program Compatibility Wizard. More information on this and UAC can be found in the Start Menu > Help and Support. Also, Vista may have a problem with older (crummy) software. Overall, UAC should be turned back on for better system security, especially if you’re sharing the computer with others, such as family. -- oscar style_emoticons/ ....Right click is your very good friend...

Guest Nigel Fieldsend Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Hi I am trying to load Dragon naturally speaking 10 onto Vista home premium and get the message The administrator has set policies to prevent this installation. I am the administrator, I have switches off U.A.C. and there is no setup.exe on the program. This is because there are some prerequisits to load first. You can use run as administrator to run the prerequisits but the main program will not follow on and load afterwards. Have you got any ideas please Regards Nigel -- Nigel Fieldsend ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nigel Fieldsend's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/nigel-fieldsend.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-security/1077124.htm http://forums.techarena.in Quote
