I was told to run a virus scan. It will only allow the administrator account to do this. I cannot update Flash as requested, or anything else
Hi Diane,
OMG!..... I think you got trapped by doing this... I hope you have a backup image to restore your PC.
Anyhow, try to get a second opinion about it.
G'Luck...

If you have access to a computer with administrator privileges go to the link bellow, read carefully download fallow direction, this is a live boot bypass you'll still see the password log on, don't input any password just enter I hope it helps,

This issue has nothing to do with viruses or Windows Updates.
I wish that people who do not know the answers would refrain from confusing others. ...
It is not clear to me if this is your own, private computer, or an office (work) computer where the user settings are controlled by an IT department.
If it is controlled by an IT department, then you need the IT department to change your account type from a standard user to an administrator, if they allow that option to their users. ....
On the other hand, if this is your own private computer, and you are able to use the Admin account (which is not very clear to me from your message), you can do whatever changes you want to the other accounts (from the admin account).
Start > Use Control Panel.
Under User Accounts and Family Safety, click on Add or remove user accounts.
From the list of accounts window, click on the desired account (or add a new one).
Now you can change many options to that account, including the account "Type" (6th option on the left), from standard user to administrator by clicking the appropriate radial button.
Click OK.
You are done.
Try turning the User Account Control off. If that doesn't work, try creating a new user account and set it as an Administrator. If that still doesn't work, try download and run Adwcleaner and Combofix from www.bleepingcomputer.com. If all else fails, maybe try a System Restore. All of the answers in bold can be found in the Control Panel, just search for them at the search box.
Testimonial: "Thanks for your suggestions but unfortunately everything I try to do requires the administrator to do it!"

You can not install anything from a limited account. That is the idea of a limited account. Try installing the game from the administrator account.

Is your User account is set for Administrator?
Possible that if you are using a Limited account you got a restriction for installing your software.

Go to the Start menu and select Control Panel
In the search box, type in "update."
Click on the link to turn automatic updating on or off.
Select from the available options including the time you'd like updates to be downloaded and whether you'd like to be notified and asked before downloaded updates are installed.
1. Go to Start button > All Programs > Windows Update.
2. In the left pane, click Change settings.
3. Select Install updates automatically.
4. Under Recommended updates, select the Include recommended updates when downloading, installing, or notifying me about updates check box, and then click OK.
5. Make sure you click Check for updates to make sure your computer has the latest updates installed. You might need to shut down and restart you machine after the updates are applied.

There is a program you can purchase (or it is more than likely available as a torrent) which will diagnose and fix almost any Hard Drive problem.

Ok there are two things you can try here the first this is you can right click on the application and run as administrator should be an option that should get you around that problem. Now to run the updater in safe mode to try and fix your problem should also be an easy fix. When you start up your computer and you get to the section ware it asks you how you would like to boot one option should be to boot in safe more with networking this will allow you to access your systems in safe mode and the internet by loading all needed drivers and processes for networking allowing you to access the internet.
I hope this helps.
Thank you,
