I want to set my computer for standard instead of administrator. I am trying
to install the media player winter pack and it tells me the installation has
insufficiant priviligaes to access this directory. Log on as administrator
or contact your system administrator. The only acct on here is just me and no
one else no matter what i chage it dont help. I was gonna set it as standard
instead of admin but it isnt letting me change it HELP

Hello,

with Vista, many applications need more privileges, as they run in user's
mode. The account itself (so the user himself) has administrative privileges
only.
Right-click the application, select "Run as administrator", and it hopefully
will work.

Greetings,
