Administrator priviledges

Bumpo — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 09:56:20 GMT

Does anyone know a way around the annoying way Vista (or is it Sony Vaio ?) put up admin blocks when installing new software ? I have an HP Officejet 5510 which wont fully install as I do not have the correct admin priviledges. I have tried the on screen suggestions to allow me to install but without success. This is within installshield. I really do not want to buy new printers. No one seems to have had this problem or has a solution as in other tech websites my query has not been answered....please help a newbie to Vista. Thanks so much in advance.

Hi there

Have you tried the right clicking and 'run as admin' option?

Hi bumpo,

if Jumpy's solution does not help have you tried running the Vista Program Compatibility Wizard, this can be found in Vista help..?

Alternatively have you checked the HP site for Vista information, click the following link: Results for "officejet 5510" (3 products)
