I'm trying to install a program and my computer keeps telling me I don't have administrator privileges?

This may sounds obvious but have you forwarded the correct ports through sonicwall for your VPN?
If you have, do you have any QoS running, it could be worth checking that VPN has priority over VoIP etc.
Do you get disconnects all the time or is it only during busy periods? You may be overloading your server, perhaps it's time for more RAM.

By the way can you tell us what operating system are you using on your computer so we can check if this softwarer is compatible with it,, If the software is already install to your computer try to uninstall it then reinstall it back but try to install it on a different location...

try this rightclick on setup and then click on propherty.MARK RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

You can remove or change the Window's User or administrator's password and privileges. You need access to a computer with Internet access to download the Hiren's Boot CD and burn it onto a CD. Then insert this CD into the laptop/computer and boot up the laptop/computer with the Hiren's CD and follow the instructions. There are very useful utilities CD and it a Linux boot CD which contains quite a lot of Utility programs including a password removal program. Click on one of these links to download HIREN'S BOOTCD :- http://www.hirensbootcd.net/ http://67.20.82.163/

- If you are using the Administrator account or your account has Administrator privileges but you are getting a prompt that "you do not have administrative rights", try to adjust the "User Account Control Settings" to medium or low.
-Click Start
-On the Search box type UAC and press Enter.

- Lower the settings for UAC by sliding the bar down.

~~ Hope this helps~~

Since this error seems to reference the "Windows Installer" which is separate from the Installshield engine, I would probably try updating that:
The error by Windows Installer Package happens in Windows Vista because the of custom actions set in the installer package fail with missing permissions, involving custom actions that scheduled for both immediate or deferred execution. Visual Studio custom actions run while impersonating the installing user but only run with standard user privilege, and not with elevated administrator privilege as required in Windows Vista, if the msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate bit is not set. Even though Windows Vista prompts for privilege elevation, however, only custom actions that are running in the Local System account get elevated correctly, while custom actions that impersonate as the current user do not.
Thus, the error usually happens on older versions of setup installer which install or uninstall programs meant for earlier versions of Windows operating system, such as XP, 2000, Me and 9x. However, if you're the programmer or developer for the installer program, probably you can do much to change the bit or installer sequence to solve the issue. But, there are still resolutions to fix the error 1721 that happens in Windows Vista, and probably has more than one one solutions or workarounds that users can try to get the software program installed.
Run an elevated command prompt with Run as Administrator option to start the installation
This method will probably allow most failed .msi installer to install/uninstall probably. Simply open an elevated command prompt with Run as Administrator setting, and then execute the .msi executable.

You can install programs on your PC ONLY with Administrator privileges!
It could be either by logging in as an administrator (or any other account with administrative privileges; Sometimes even Power User privileges is enough) OR right-clicking on the setup file of the program and choosing "Run as..." and specifying a suitable user account.
Other way will be cracking/resetting the Administrator's password - but I won't get into it... Anyway, it's probably set on a server and not in your local PC.

PS: You can ask your network administrator to grant you privileges as a local administrator (ie, only for your own PC) - if he agreed - that should solve your problem! :)

You need administrative rights (privileges) in your User Account. Ask your computer administrator to upgrade the Flash version for you, or give you rights to install software.

Try browsing to the driver disk manually and look for the install or setup program. (.exe).
Right-click it and in the popup menu select "Run as administrator". Maybe the helps.

This is normal with Vista, Vista log in users as standard (not Administrator privileges) , then ask if to run programs as administrator for security reasons. Once you tell the system to run program as administrator it should install with no problems.
If you really cannot install the program, you can restart computer and login as administrator:
At the "pick a user to login" screen, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to get the classic login screen. Then you can type in Administrator for the user name, default password is blank.
