Pete Dowson Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 right click on ico and run as adm,,,,will work on that although when i right clik there is nothing like that in the pop up When you right-click on any program icon or short cut the menu should certainly include a "Run as administrator" option -- unless perhaps you are not even an administrator when you logged on? I don't know about that case, but on WinXP you had to log off and log back on again using the admin account. Obviously if your Vista is not the English language version it will say something dfferent. There's a lot of things you are prevented from doing on Vista unless you can be an administrator on occasion! Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanny Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi again Pete still have not been able to find a way to run fsx as administrator,,read a few places where others have the same problem,,,all other programs with a right click will give me the administrator,,,,,did you get any other feed back on this subject,,,,,can t also make changes to panel cfg file,,,,in your experience, do you think it s also related to the same problem,,, thanks for your help claude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 still have not been able to find a way to run fsx as administrator,,read a few places where others have the same problem,,,all other programs with a right click will give me the administrator,,,,,did you get any other feed back on this subject No, none. Everyone has confirmed what I see. When you right-click on the Icon for FSX, there surely must be a "Run as administrator" option? I've now got two Vista installations (one Home Premium, the other Ultimate) and they both provide this option for all programs, not just FSX. I've no idea how to hide ityou must surely have some super-protective settings enabled somewhere, or possibly you are logged on as an ordinary user, not the Administrator? If so, see if there's a "Run as ...." which allows you to specify the Admin username and password prior to running FSX. ,,,,,can t also make changes to panel cfg file,,,,in your experience, do you think it s also related to the same problem,,, If you let FSX install in its default place, deep within "Program Files", then you are prevented from changing anything at all in its folders -- it is all part of Vista's super protective system to stop you messing things up. The only way to edit stuff in any Program Files folder is to change access permisions. Please don't ask me how to do that -- it took me several days following other folks' advice and I can't explain it. I eventually managed to make my FSUIPC Installer automatically change access permissions to the modules folder, so I can write the LOG, INI and KEY files there. That was by a lot of "magic" code which I'd find difficult to explain too! I like the *look* of Vista, but pretty much everything else about it does tend to annoy me. Maybe I'll get used to it, one day, but meanwhile I am sticking to XP for development and "real" flying. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
