I am trying to install Pinnacle Systems Dazzle video editing software on an
Acer Laptop with
Vista Home Premium.
When I try to launch the install a window opens saying I need to log on as
administrator.
I am the administrator and the user name & password I use are for the
administrator.
There are no other users.
My account icon is labeled as administrator.
I have searched Help with no answer to this problem, Help did suggest I
right click the program
icon and select "run as administrator" but no such command appeared in the
window.
Help, please.
TIA

Hi,

You need to right click the setup.exe file and use the 'run as
administrator', not the icon.

Thanks for the help, finally found it, but got a "program did not install
correctly" message.
Program is XP version, guess I'll have to look for a Vista version, Kind of
strange as I've
installed Win 95 programs and they run fine. Oh well, thanks anyway.
