Hi Guys, I am having a problem on dell machine with Windows Ultimate 64 bit with SP1. Every time when I am trying to run a program from a standard user it tells me “This program requires administrative privileges. You are not logged in as an Administrator of this computer “ I right click and choose properties and run as administrator but again it tells me exactly the same thing. Also in compatibility mode the privilege level to run as administrator is ticked. Here is what I have tried so far: • I Switched off User access control • I have reset all permission • I have run SFC/SCANNOW • In Local Security policy in security option, the UAC is set to prompt for credential. So I do not really understand what the issue is and how the windows it has been installed by dell At the moment I cannot even run and set up a backup, This is a client machine running on workgroup and changing the user to Administrator is not an option. Any ideas and Help will be highly appreciated. Kind Regards, Koko

Hi, Please make sure your administrator account wasn’t added into an local group with lower permission. This may cause these kind of problem. 1. Click Start button, right Computer then chose Manage. 2. Move to Computer Management -> System Tools ->Local Users and Groups. 3. Double click the user which you want to check. 4. Select the Member Of tag, and check the result. If you cannot try these steps, please let me know. Also, please let me know the software name, then I could try to repro this issue on my side.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
