Have to run as Administrator ???

I cannot run Kular in my Power User account in XP for some
reason. It will only run in IE if I RUNAS Administrator.
When I try running in the user account, it says that I need
to install Flash, but it already is installed anyway. When I say OK
to install, it says that it needs elevated permissions to install.
So I install in Administrator, but it makes no difference in the
user account.
Any help?

I think this caused by the security setting in your XP
computer. Please try following step:
In IE, please check Tools -> Internet Options, click on
Security tab, find and click on “Custom level” button
to open Security Setting window. Find “Run ActiveX control
and plug in” in the list, and checked it as
“Enable”.
It might be checked as “Administrator approved”
or “Disable” before.
If you worry about security of your computer, you can set it
as "Prompt".
Let me know if you still have the problem.

Outlook 2013 have to run as administrator

Hello all,
My outlook not working properly when I started normally. I have no problem if I run as administrator or in safe mode.
It's an outlook 2013 and connected on an exchange server.
I control that Outloock is not in compatibility mode (From Properties -> Compatibility tab)
and there isn't google desktop installed.
I need Idea...
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards

My outlook not working properly when I started normally.
What's the exact symptom when you start Outlook normally?
Since you have detected that Outlook works well under safe mode, try to disable the add-ins one at a time, then restart Outlook (not in Safe Mode this time) to check behavior.
Repeat the steps until you find out the faulty add-in.

I run windows 7. Since updating itunes, I have been unable to open itunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and have chosen to run a administrator. Itunes icon now displays a shield with yellow

I run windows 7. Have been unable to open itunes since updating last week. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled, and have checked run as administrator, but still can no open. I notice that there is now a shield with yellow and blue squares next to it, that i do not think were there before.

many thanks, Mary.
The ModName is ituneup.dll; the modver is 1.0.7.0.
Do you have the TuneUp plugin installed for your iTunes? If so, I think your copy is causing the issue here. Try the following document:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
... does that help with the launch errors?

I have tried the following, "netsh winsock, reset", but I get a message that says the required operation requires elevation run as administrator . this is my laptop and I am an administrator, please help , itunes store is the only program i have issues

I get a message that says, the required operation requires elevation <run as administrator>. I am the owner of this laptop and I have administrative authority, why does this show and how can I fix this. Itunes store is the ONLY program I am having trouble with.Very , very frustrating.!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will assume you're using Windows Vista-7:
Try these steps instead:
1 Click start, and in the start menu search, type "cmd" (without the quotes) DO NOT PRESS ENTER!
2. Right click the "cmd" search result
3. Click "Run as Administrator"
4. If you get a pop up message, click yes or continue
5. Type the command in the window as you did above.
In an effort to try to prevent programs from messing with your computer, programs don't run under your administrator account unless you tell them to or they ask. This gives the Administrator (elevated) privelleges that you need.

How do you get to the DOS prompt so that you can type in the info to help get into itunes store??? One post said search cmd, right click, run as administrator but where is the search cmd??

Have been struggling for days trying to get into the itunes store. Have contacted support with no help. I have been reading how some have typed something into a DOS prompt and have resolved their issues. One stated to "search cmd, right click, and run as admininstrator" but where is this? There was also a post about typing something into the DOS prompt....how do I get to this? Can someone please help??? SOOOOO FRUSTRATING. Thanks much...Carrie (Mike's wife:))

One stated to "search cmd, right click, and run as admininstrator" but where is this?
In the search field in your Vista start menu, type cmd
Next, right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".

Bridge CS6 Insists on Running as Administrator - PC

Everything worked so well in CS5 Extended......
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit - MSI 990FXA-GD80 Motherboard - AMD Phenom II X6 1100T CPU - nVideo GTX550ti Video
Okay, I have CS6 running on an SSD. Initially with CS6 Beta I found I had to run as Administrator. I eventually discovered how to run as a user by going into Preferences / Performance and setting my scratch disk to my hard drive.
So now I have the CS6 release. I deleted CS6 Beta as instructed and followed directions for the install. CS6 works fine except for the bugs that I reported in the beta forum . My problem is now that Bridge insists on running as Administrator. If I try and run it as a user, it comes up and quits immediately. It doesn't make a wisp of difference where I set my Cache file, SSD or hard drive. I can even deal with that, however now I can't start Bridge from Photoshop! I click on File / Browse in Bridge and nothing happens. If I start Bridge then go to Photoshop and click on File / Browse in Bridge, still nothing happens. I have to manually switch to the Bridge window.
Help!!
Gerry

I think the point of trying to help people find workarounds is that no one here save for the Adobe folks know when they're likely to release that fix.

it seems the CS6 Beta was released totally as a marketing ploy and not at all to allow us to work with it and report bugs.
When was the Photoshop CS6 beta first made available? The date I recall is March 22, 2012, and that software was actually built from sources on March 5, near as I can tell.
For reference, note the build dates on the files installed as part of the Photoshop CS6 release:
Software preparation for release is normally a pipeline, with engineers working on code, build teams building code into executables and installers, system testers testing builds, beta testers testing potential releases, and customers downloading released code all simultaneously.
I suspect Adobe was expecting to be able to release the Photoshop CS6 they already had built by the time the beta test started, unless any real "show stopper" bugs were found. Bottom line I think is that we can assume none of the customer-reported bugs during the public beta were gauged "show stoppers". I'm pretty sure not everyone sees the crash you're seeing.
There's always pressure to get a release out, even if it's not perfect, as long as some customers can derive value from it... Proceeds from sales can keep the lights on at the factory while the first update is prepared.
We only hope that update makes everything better without making anything worse.

Why does Photoshop CS5 require me to run as Administrator?

I just installed a fresh copy of CS5 64 bit Extended Student and Teacher edition obtained direct from Adobe.
It installed fine and for the first ten or so times I used it it started without any difficulty. This morning it is refusing to start with an error message "could not open scratch file because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access priveliges'.
(The first thing this morning it installed some updates - don't know if that has a bearing on the problem)
I CAN start it if I right click and 'run as administrator', but then the UAC dialog box comes up asking me to allow changes to my computer.
I have only on account, and it is an administrator.
I installed CS5 while logged in as administrator
I am logged in as administrator when I try to run it
If I look at the shortcut, it appears I have full access.
I changed my scratch disk location so it is not on my boot drive.
I believe I have the latest updates
I am running WIndows 7 64 bit, and the CS5 install was the 64 bit version.
While this may be a WIndows 7 issue, I don't understand why, if I am logged in as administrator CS5 won't start without the UAC nag dialog box. Is is something to do with it being the student edition?
Thanks in advance,
Henry

Welcome to the joy of Windows UAC.
Even though you are logged-on using an account in the Administrators group, you are not normally running applications as an Administrator.
Therefore, if your permissions aren't set up properly to allow read-write access to the root folder on your scratch drive, Photoshop will not be able to access that folder.

How do I make a script "Run as administrator" on its own?

Hello,
Win 8.1, VB scripts or PowerShell
Having discovered I previously failed to fully study UAC, I now understand why scripts transferred to a new Win 8.1 machine quit working. They have to be 'Run As Administrator' on the new machine; then they work as before. While I'm still
a little hazy on UAC, but continuing to study, it seems I'm left with a choice. Please correct my perception of this choice if it's wrong:
1) I can change my UAC settings (which I actually prefer not to do - I'm a safety guy...)
2) I must always run my scripts by right clicking to the context menu and clicking "Run As Administrator"
3) I learn if there is a way for my script to "Run As Administrator" on its own
Assuming my choices above are correct, I would like to focus on choice 3.
I've done some amount of research, but I'm not sure any of the solutions I saw actually accomplish choice 3. Most of those posts indicate that the individual still had to enter a password or perform some other interaction after the script ran, so I'm
not sure why the solutions posted were an answer to what was basically the same as my question here.
Can a script be setup to Run As Administrator without requiring any further user interaction? I'm wondering if this is actually a self-defeating question, because if a script can be setup as such, then wouldn't it bypass the very purpose
UAC was put in place, for protection? Am I thinking incorrectly?
If it is possible to write the script so it really runs without further interaction, please point me where I might need to study more.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Alan

Hi jrv,
So, I think we've unofficially become friends since you answered my question in .vbs because you know that's where I've been. I really am trying to transition to .ps1, but thanks for the thought. :-) I actually did write a test .ps1 using get-vm
(which is very cool thank you) but wasn't able to execute it other than running a batch file from the context menu selection 'Run As Administrator'. The following is the operative line I used in the batch file (it doesn't seem like the -Verb runas
worked as I expected it to):
powershell -executionpolicy remotesigned -file C:\batchFiles\ps\vmstatus.ps1 -Verb runas
I am getting a book on Powershell to study.
But, regarding your line above, I think I applied your guidance correctly. I created a shortcut with the following line in the target box (I'm assuming this is what you were directing me to do. I also assumed I was supposed to add powershell.exe
at the beginning of the line you posted above):
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
start-process cscript C:\batchFiles\vmStatus.vbs -Verb RunAs
Windows seem to add the full path for powershell.exe automatically. It runs without requiring the context menu selection "Run As Administrator", but it
still brings up the UAC message box for permission to continue, which is what I was trying to address in my initial post when I was speaking to the possible self-defeating nature of my question to allow
a script to bypass UAC.
I'm asking to confirm: having the UAC popup is in fact normal behavior that can't be side stepped unless other steps are taken. So I guess I need to continue research to understand
what must be done to allow simple double-clicking of a shortcut to get a seamless execution without actually changing UAC.
Regarding STscripter's solution, I experienced the same UAC message box, so this post is also in response to that answer.
Thanks again for your help.
Best Regards,
Alan

Logon with Virtual Smart Card Breaks Run As Administrator

I've been testing the Virtual Smart Card (VSC) capability on a Surface Pro 2 and Dell Latitude E7240.
This may be by design however, I have noticed that if I login using the VSC I am unable to use "Run As Administrator" functionality - for example:
Command Prompt from Start Screen
Task Manager
I'm prompted for a username / password or the VSC PIN.
In my environment the Administrative user does not have a VSC, so it is a username/password. When using Run As Administrator I'm therefore always entering a username and password.
Once the credentials are entered the prompt goes away but the application never runs.
If I lock/unlock the session and login using username/password for the non-admin user, instead of the VSC and PIN, I am able to elevate using Run As.
I have noticed that I can use the workaround as specified in this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2013976
To work around this issue, start the application using the Run as different user right-click context menu option and select the smart card reader of choice.
Click Start, select Programs, and locate the shortcut item in the Programs menu or the application folder for the application you want to run
Hold down the SHIFT key while you right-click the shortcut item, and select Run as different user.
Enter the username, password and the domain name or choose a smart card logon.
Seems a little odd... maybe I am missing something. If anyone can assist that would be great.
Thanks, Chris

"Run as Administrator" not Elevating/Asking for Password properly

I've got a weird issue on a Windows 7 x64 Professional that was installed and distributed (17 times) by someone else. All request to run with Elevated Rights are completely ignored.
When I try to run Programm Elevated with Rightclick->"Run as Administrator" they are instead started as the User I am currently logged in as. I have to manually relog (logout, login) as Administrator in order to do stuff I normally would do with
"Run as Admin".
There is no UAC question, no Dialog to input the Admins Password/Select the user, no automatic elevation - it just executes as the current user, even if that is a Standart User.
If any process would normally ask for elevated rights (anything marked with the Admin Right Shield thingy in Windows Explorer) it instead runs as normal user and (of course) runs into lack of rights down the road, sooner or later.
Haven't checked how Programms with a Manifest that requires Elevation behave yet, but I guess it is the same.
Parts that might be relevant:
The UAC is disabeled (set to not ask anything/lowest setting)
Two accounts: Admin Type account named "sheriff" (instead of default name) and Standart User Type account "User". The Guest account is disabeled.
While UAC is off, unless I am very mistaken "Run as Administrator" should still work while logged in as a limited Standart User type. After all it has been around a lot longer then the UAC.

Was a while since I posted here and I think I understand the problem a lot better now. Couldn't actually solve my problem (this would require setting the UAC back online wich is explicitly not wanted), but it still might be helpfull for others:
Elevating as Adminsitrator (under Vista and later) needs two Components:
runas - a Commandline Command that has been around since XP and whose sole purpose is to start Programms under other rights then the current user.
In order for it to work the "Secundary Login" Windows Service must be running during Login of the current user. Enabling it or disabling it after a login will have no effect.
And it will fail silently (not telling you it failed).
UAC - normally you need it to surpress the Admin aspect. In my case it was not neded for that from a Security Standpoint. What I have here was a suiteable set of Credentials for Windows XP style Security: limited normal User, Administrator with non-standart
name and password.
What I would have needed from the UAC (and get on all the other Computers where it is online but we still have limited users) was it's ability to detect wich User to elevate too. The UAC is needed to "Find the Admin". And it cannot do that if set to "not inform".
Under XP the "Run as"-Explorer Option was designed to let you select the user. Always.
Under Vista, 7 and 8 it's renamed "Run as Adminsitrator" and the UAC autodetects wich user to Elevate towards. If the UAC is not running the menu Explorer Context Menu Option, the Runas Modifier for .NET Process and Manifests have no idea wich Usercontext they
should run under. And never even try to elevate.
The only way to elevate on such Computers is to relog as Administrator or use Runas on Command Line with explicit naming of the User you want to use.

A dialog box tells me i already have firefox running i must close this and or restart computer this is annoying can this be fixed or am i needing better instruction for opening and closing firefox sessions help............

i have close firefox and tried to log on again i get a box saying firefox is already running, i must close this session before i can log on again confused i don't see the program running in the task manager confused again says i must restart computer in order to log on again. i close firefox by accident seems like this could be resolved easier. vs. restarting computer confused help shows something like firefox exe. confused

Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
If that doesn't solve the problem then remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean reinstall.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Why does 'run as Administrator' fix my Silver Efex problem?

I have had a problem with the Nik Software Silver Efex Pro (SEP) plugin running extremely slowly, but only at certain times. It's been pretty good for the past few months, but it suddenly took a nose-dive a few days ago. It takes ages to load the presets and to process the image in Photoshop once I have made my selections in SEP. I just thought that as SEP is a direct plugin to CS6 Photoshop then perhaps it's something to do with the way Photoshop itself runs. I switched the running of Photoshop to 'Run as administrator' (just right click the program in the start menu and go to compatability tab) and SEP now runs extremely fast. No problems at all. I also think (but have no way of measuring it) that Photoshop is running faster in general. Does anyone know why running as Admin should make such a difference? Are there any problems in running in Admin mode?
I run Norton Internet Security, and thought that as I'm now OK in Admin mode it might be a virus-checker problem, and running in Admin mode was getting around the problem. I do have both versions of Photoshop (32 and 64 bit) incuded to 'allow' access in Norton.
Here is my system config. My PC runs very well in all other respects.

I'm not saying Norton is your problem, but I haven't heard good things about Norton software in a long time, unfortunately.
I always recommend Avast! antivirus to people. The free version is very good in itself, and they offer a more comprehensive Internet Security version as well.
I don't know how technically-oriented you are, but if you do understand how things work fairly well and have taken measures and adopted good practices to avoid running malware, there is the possibility of just shutting off UAC (MIcrosoft User Account Control) if its operation continually gets in the way of your completing your work. Typically, most people just get in the habit of confirming whatever prompts come up anyway, which defeats most of the protection UAC can afford.

Smartview 11.1.2.2 installed w/ "run as administrator" connection error

SmartView was installed on XP with the run as administrator function. the URL to the shared connections provider has been updated. However when opening the connection panel and clicking on Shared Connections I get an error saying:
(Translated from Spanish so the exact english error could differ a bit)
Error connecting to Shared Services Provider
Message of the error: The provider running on <correct URL>
is not a Shared Services Provider.
Then it shows the correct URL and the option to modify.
On the same network with a user who installed directly with an admin user (same Firefox same Office 2010 Pro pack) the smartview is working correctly with the same URL.
What should I be looking for here?
We have tried un and reinstalling with an actual admin profile however that did not make any difference. Why would it think that the URL is not a correct provider?
Please help!
-A-

Hi Jasmine,
The URL was correct.
I found out what the problem was.
As we are on Windows XP we are running IE7 which doesn't work for the purpose of EPM 11.1.2.2. So we are using firefox 10 with the XUL manager as documented to access the EPM workspace.
Therefore I never added the epm server to the proxy exception list in the IE internet options configuration.
I had done this on my machine simply for the purpose of testing whether IE7 did or did not work for 11.1.2.2, but it was not done on the other machines.
We tested the connection via Firefox and it was working and tested in IE7 and got a proxy error.
As it happens Excel uses the IE internet settings so on adding the server to the proxy exception list in IE everything worked.
So for anyone having similar problems: Make sure your server is in the IE exception list :)
Thanks though for your time. Keep up the good work :)
