It gets disabled and enabled again. Nothing that fixes things. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems/page/2#post-34459 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 08:38:05 +0000 acdc 34459@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>What really happens when you first turn off UAC and later turn it on again? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems/page/2#post-34346 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:22:31 +0000 acdc 34346@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I managed to run Open Office from my normal account, but I wonder how this was made possible. It was impossible to run Open Office, even by clicking on "run as administrator". Someone gave me the link to<br /> this forum and how to disable UAC. That didn't help. I then became a member of this forum and started this topic. A few minutes ago I decided to bring everything back to "normal" and enabled UAC again. And guess what? Now I can open Office without a problem. When I recapitulate the only thing that changed in my account was disabling an re-enabling UAC again. Now I have also the missing maps in my useraccount as described higher. Can someone explain me how this is possible? What really happens when disabling and re-enabling UAC? Thanks to all those who tried to help me. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems#post-34234 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:19:02 +0000 Lighthouse 34234@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>They would have to put it in their profile.

I think my user account is %$&#38;^*%&#38;: can I just delete it and go on with the new one? Most programs were installed from my user account, but they will also run on other useraccounts i assume, or do they need the presence of the account that installed the programs?</p> <p>Edit by mod ( No bad language please) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems#post-34203 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:13:06 +0000 Lighthouse 34203@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Me? no! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems#post-34202 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:08:51 +0000 acdc 34202@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I created a new user with administrator rights and there it works just like it should.

Open Office can be run as Administrator, from a normal Administrator account. It seems you have a deeper problem! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems#post-34163 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 12:06:43 +0000 Lighthouse 34163@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I am downloading it now! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems#post-34161 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 12:03:22 +0000 acdc 34161@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for trying to help me out! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems#post-34158 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:13:41 +0000 whs 34158@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>That is too bad. Now I am really puzzled and out of words. Maybe some Open Office expert can help. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems#post-34155 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:54:55 +0000 acdc 34155@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>This might be helpful for other shortcuts. Unfortunatly it doesn't make any difference for Open office. I also tried to make sure that no other program was running, but that made no difference too. For one reason or another the "hidden" administrator does not encounter this problem. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems#post-34021 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:10:52 +0000 whs 34021@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Maybe you can try this. Find the Open Office program in All Programs. Right click on it and click on Properties. Then you should see the upper window in my picture (I have used Command Prompt as example since I do not have Open Office). Then follow the numbers followed by Apply &gt; OK. See whether that works.</p> <p><img src='http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii36/whs37/HTG8/RaA.png' /> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems#post-34017 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:51:14 +0000 acdc 34017@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@whs: OK, i've learned the lesson. I managed to install the Canon MP600 drivers from my normal account, but now my MP600 broke down (Murphy law?). The display says error 5010. I've checked the internet: lots of people have the same problem. And guess what: the warranty (1 year) ended 2 weeks ago.</p> <p>With Open office 2.4 I still have the same problem: the programs open only from the "hidden" administrator. From my "normal" account, right clicking the "run as administrator" I only get an errorsound and a tiny windows that cannot be made bigger with only the letters "OK". If you click on OK it just closes that window, and doesn't run the programs. It's probably an errormessage, but you can't read it. Any idea? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-home-premium-administrator-right-problems#post-33808 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 18:33:11 +0000 whs 33808@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Let me quote the Geek "Note: You really shouldn't use this account for anything other than troubleshooting.
