Vista doesn't remember install info

Any help?
My Vista doesn't remember the install info for several of my programs:
Photoshop CS2 - allows key to be entered and software to be registered and
says OK then runs on 30 day trial period + asks for registration everytime I
open it up
Corel 12 - Not so much a problem but asks for registration everytime I start
the computer - although already registered
Xara (an older copy) - Asks for software key everytime I start software
Newer programs seem OK - Photoshop a real problem though
Cheers

You probably are seeing some registry Permissions problem. You may need to
'run as administrator' while you register.

Right click the Photoshop icon and Run As Administrator. Activate it.
After that it should work fine without having to run as admin again.
