I am desperately trying to install some Widcomm software for my Motorola Bluetooth PC850 dongle which HAS to be installed by the Administrator (not a user with Admin rights) so I enabled the Admin account and signed into it.
I get this - even there!!!
The thing is, I had it installed perfectly well before Windows tried to update the driver and I stupidly said yes. Windows installed the wrong driver and the entire machine seized up. I managed to extricate myself from that one in Safe Mode & uninstall everything, but now I'm met with this boondoggle. I'm not quite sure how to take the insult. The Administrator is suddenly not one according to Vista.
I checked permissions and me (Peter), Administrator, Administrators, and System all have full permission.
All I can do perhaps dlete this download and try another one, but why would Windows behave this way?
To add insult to injury, it disabled my M$ Bluetooth too so am reduced to using my old klunker of a keyboard and mouse.
I feel that perhaps I'm going to have to reinstall Vista..dammit.
