Also how do you give yourself full administrator privileges? I am the only user on the pc and I log in as administrator yet I am still going told I cannot perform certain actions.
For example I have a USB telephone that I use with a program called Skype. There are no Vista drivers for the USB phone at the moment. However there is a workaround that involves going to an XP machine that has the USB phone installed. You have to copy a file named usbaudio.sys from XP windows/system32/drivers folder and then add it to the Vista windows/system32/drivers folder (replacing the Vista one). The XP bit was ok but in Vista when I try to do that I get told “Destination folder access denied. You need permission to perform this action” I can get into the folder I just can’t make any changes or delete any of the files inside
Also when Vista boots up I get told certain start up programs have been denied access to start. One of them is a realtek ac’97 sound driver? I try to change the permission on this but I can’t. Again I think this is because I don’t have full privileges. Also with some start up programs I have to keep on giving them permission to start up.
It is driving me nuts. So how do I get Vista to stop treating me like an idiot? If I try to open device manager I really do want to open device manager. I don’t need to be asked “are you sure you want to do this”
