Hi there,
I have Windows Vista Ultimate installed on my computer, It works fine ecept for when I try to install some video drivers it comes up with the message "You Need To Be In Administrator Mode" half way through the installation. I went and checked and I am in administrator mode, there is only the one account on this computer and its the administrator one.

How do I fix this, Its quite urgent.

Thanks,
BIGDANW

right click on the exe file and select "run as administrator"

Even after right clicking the .exe file and running in administrator mode the message still pops up saying "You Need To Be In Administrator Mode".
Any other suggestions?

Try taking full control over the file by right clicking the .exe and go down to propertys then go to the surcurity tab and see if the file has full admin controls. If not try ticking the boxes im not real sure mate. But when i have an error like that saying i need to be in admin mode i just right click and run as admin works fine for me

I just tryed that and it didnt work ether,

I uploaded a video to youtube
Dose anyone have anymore suggetions?

Thanks

Try this.
Delete that copy and download a new one to either your documents folder or downloads folder. Then un-install the old driver (whilst windows update is turned off... Don't forget) Reboot. Try installing new copy and you 'should' be good to go.
If that doesn't work and you have UAC enabled, try turning it off and then install...See how you go. Good luck!

Ive tried what you suggested but it still keeps coming up with the same message.

Any more suggestions?

Hmmm....This is a weird one.. Ok, have you tried turning off the 'User Account Control' (UAC) and 'then' right-clicking on the driver and choose 'run as administrator'?

Have you tried opening system devices, right-clicking on the card and choosing properties. Then clicking 'Update Driver'?

What about booting into 'Safe mode'? You normally can do this by pressing F8 during the boot process and choosing safe mode from the resulting menu.

Thats all I can think of for the present, let me know if you need more help.

Right.....he he, I looked over your three suggestions and when I tried your third option, using safe mode we got someware, A different error, But were getting closer and maybe we can solve this one.

I set off the installation in safe mode, before it would load up the setup then come up with the message ("Need To Be In Administrator Mode...") When it tried to install it, Now it loads up the next part that its ment to go on to but it comes up with a message saying I sould run a Standard VGA something (maybe console I cant renember).

What sould I do about that.

Something is not quite right here... You should never have all these kinds of hoops to jump through.. Please indulge me and list your computer spec followed by the driver your trying to install. Please give as much information as you can. Thanks
