PE10 only run as administrator

Hi
I migrated my C: drive OS (Win 8) to a SSD. Everything is working fine including Lightroom, but PE10 dont want to run, it only runs if i sign in as the PC Administrator. My normal user account also have administrator right? What am i missing?

Theo_Muller
Premiere Elements needs to be run from a User Account with Administrative priviledges. Some find right clicking the program's desktop icon and selecting Run As Administrator effective.

Why the question mark? What does your account show in Control Panel.....User Accounts   Local Account/Administrator or something else?
Also please check out

Please let us know if any of the above helped.
I have Premiere Elements 10 as well as 11 on Windows 8 64 bit and all are running when I sign in using my User Account which is designed Local Account/Administrator.

  • ITunes 10.5 will only run as Administrator, Windows 7

    I have seen numerous threads on this but none of the proposed solutions work.  I can get iTunes 10.5 to run, but only when using "Run as Administrator".  I should not have to do that to run iTunes each and every time.  I've done everything short of reinstalling Windows and I'm not going to do that as the PC runs perfectly fine except for this one issue.  Without running as Adminstrator, when I go to run iTunes it just flat out refuses to run with no error message provided.
    Also, with iTunes running as admin, it steals the IR remote commands "Stop" and "Skip" and blocks Windows Media Centre from being able to use those IR commands.  I am guessing that part of this is because iTunes is running as admin.  I've never had any of these problems with previous versions of iTunes.

    I agree. I am having the same issue.
    Stop, Skip forward and Skip backwards buttons appear to be stopped until I kill itunes.
    Other issue is that itunes keeps re-spawning due to the recent changes to wifi sync. Had to kill the itunes helper service to stop this re-opening.
    I have noticiced that it is particularly bad when itunes throws an error (unable to sync) and that then it captures the input destined for Windows Media Centre (Windows 7 on a Home Theatre PC)

  • InDesign CS6 will only run "as administrator"

    I have Windows 7 on a 32-bit computer. I can only start InDesign CS6 if I "run as administrator." The first problem is that it doesn't remember things like "recently viewed" when the computer is shut down and restarted.
      The more serious problem is that the Help doesn't work at all. It just sits there or, if I hunt around, it tells me I have no internet connection.
       If I open normally, it gets to the startup page and then says that the program has failed and will be shut down. All files are up to date.
      I installed it on a second 32-bit computer (my laptop) and got the same results.
       I have no way of knowing if this is related or not, but I cannot "drag" a file onto the open area in InDesign. A circle shows up as a pointer and nothing happens.

    See this post: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff431742.aspx
    It explains the details from Manish's reply, and will atleast get you working.
    But this has to do something with the user account. I think that you should check that your account has sufficient privileges that let the software make changes to system files on disc. For example, make sure that the account you're signed into is part of the Administrators group.
    Btw, does this also happen with other software as well, or is it just InDesign CS6?

  • Adobe Digital Edition 4.0.3 on Windows 8.1 will only run as Administrator

  • Firefox only opens when a I run as administrator, crash report comes up when I click on icon and does not open. Help

    "when i started my computer today for the first time I clicked on the firefox icon and the crash report came up. I shut down normally last night. I clicked on start firefox multiple times and the crash report kept coming up. I restarted my computer same result. I then tried run as admininstrator and it loaded normally. Now the only way I can run firefox is if I run as administrator. I tried a new profile and that did not work. Same result.

    You say click on a file but your do mean you are double clicking to open the file, right?

  • 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.

  • Creative Cloud will only "run" when started in "Run as Administrator"

    For some reason, sometime in the past month Creative Cloud will not give me access when started from any of the normal methods; the Task bar Shortcut, the Start Menu shortcut, or even directly from double clicking on "Creative Cloud.exe." It starts in the background but does not appear on the monitor. This is confirmed with Task Manager. I have found that if I use Task Manager to "End Task," I can start the program (from any of the above methods) by choosing "Run as Administrator" and it appears on the monitor and I have complete access.
    Today, I updated to the newest version and the situation remains the same (except, that before I did not have to "end Task" in Task Manager prior to "Run as Administrator.)
    What is causing this and how do I fix it?

    I tried every solution I found online suggesting deletion of apps, fresh installs, deletion of folders, permission changes, etc. I finally had an hour long chat session with an Adobe tech who had me do much of the same thing again, only to have the issue remain.
    Here was the end solution which worked for me:
    1. Create a new Admin account
    2. Log out of your computer, and then back in under the new admin account
    3. use the Creative Cloud uninstaller app to uninstall CC desktop. (Doing this prompted an alert message telling me I couldn't do this because some CC apps required it. So, I deleted the 2 CC apps I had installed, Lightroom and Photoshop)
    4. After the uninstall completes, install a new copy of CC desktop. (Once I did this, it opened and ran correctly.)
    5. Log out and log back in under your usual account.
    6. If CC desktop doesn't start on its own, double click the application itself to start up.
    After completing step #6, CC desktop started up on its own. I re-downloaded Photoshop and Lightroom through CC and all is working normally so far.

  • Adobe Reader XI only works if you choose "run as administrator"

    hi
    I am running Windows 7 (64) and I cannot open Adobe Reader XI with a standard double click. It only opens if I right-click and select "Run as Administrator". This means I cannot select PDF files and open them with a double-click. I have to open reader and then browse files, which is a pain! Can anyone help?
    thanks

  • Firefox won't install for all users in Windows 8.1; only installs for administrator

    Since moving to Windows 8.1, I have been unable to install Firefox for multiple users on this laptop. Firefox installs only for the Administrator (me), and does not appear on any other user account. When I try installing from one of the other user accounts (after entering my administrator password), it simply won't install.

    Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • "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.
    Let's talk about MVVM: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/b1a8bf14-4acd-4d77-9df8-bdb95b02dbe2 Please mark post as helpfull and answers respectively.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Windows 7 Running as Administrator & Allow Program to Make Changes Popup

    Before someone tells me this question is posted elsewhere; I already know that. I've spent hours trying to figure this out. and have yet to find any answers that have helped.
    The only way I can save presets is to run a program (let's say Photoshop) as Administrator (in Windows 7). If - I Run as Administrator - then - I get the UAC popup asking me if I want to allow Photoshop to make changes to my computer. I cannot tell you how annoying this is. I keep having to go back and forth between setting programs to Run as Administrator everytime I want to work with presets, and then I have to go back to Compatability and set the program to Not Run as Administrator, in order to stop getting that annoying UAC popup. I do not want to turn off my UAC! Perhaps the problem is in the location where I am storing my files. My files are in C:\myName rather than in C:\Users\myName. My Creative Cloud Programs were installed in C:\Program Files\Adobe (by default). myName is set as the Administrator Account in Windows.
    Note: I can save the presets at other locations on my computer, just not in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Program Name\Presets\Gradients\(or whatever) which is where they need to be.
    Please Advise.

    If I try to open Adobe by itself, without attaching it to a specific file, same thing- still got command.
    But I can add this:  Somehow awhile back I found the solution on line (if I recall, it was not in an Adobe forum). Kicking myself for not posting here. So I had it working, but then I recently had to reinstall the program and it went back to square one. However,  I instructed the program to open with an previous version (Right click- properties - previous version) and I know can open again without getting that annoying command. Problem is I stll can't remember how I got it that way the first time. I was thinking it may have been tied in with making it compatible to an earlier version, but I just checked Properties again, and it says Windows 7, so that is not changing anything. I am sorry. I have searched and seached again to find that earlier solution, but now I can't find it! If anyone else can figure it out, please post to save the next person a bunch of time. I have spent hours on this already, searching, reading, tweaking.
