Title: do not have permission to perform actions
Post by: NOT ADMIN :P on May 26, 2008, 03:50:29 PM

lately (as of 2 days ago) i have had a problem of trying to DL something or run an application and i will recieve a message " you do not have permission to.... , please contact your administrator." This is a stand alone computer. hooked up to the net.
1 USER!. it is an admin account. Vista x86 (32 bit).

i am computer savy, at first i thought it may be a trojan of sorts. System scan revealed nothing. using eset nod32 AV. outpost pro firewall. Virus signature DB up-to-date.

any one who reads this may suggest something. I am not concerned if you are CH admin or well reknown.

Even simple suggestions or possiblities will be appreciated .

Maybe i am not seeing something very simple. : (

Be careful, while playing with it.
