    windows vista, I should have 3 accounts in my laptop, the original
    adminstrator, guest which is off, and another one with adminstrator rights,
    when I try to use the last one to remove any software, it just let me know
    that I need administrator right to download or remove. How can I restore the
    original administrator account?

    Right click on the program you want to remove, select Run as Administrator.
    Now, try to delete again.

    The built-in default Administrator account is, AFAIK, disabled by default in
    Vista.
    When you go to uninstall software using the account with administrator
    rights and it asks for permission, have you just tried clicking "Yes"?

    A box : a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will
    close the program and notify you if a sloution is available.

    Then there is some third-party influence here because an administrator
    should be able to uninstall software.
    Two questions:
    1: What is this application you are trying to uninstall and
    2: Is this a work computer?

    RUNNING a program as Administrator isn't going to give you any option to
    uninstall it....

    Who said Run As Administrator is going to give an option to uninstall ?"
    Did I say that ? Don't put words in my mouth.
    Run As Administrator would give required Permission to un-install.

    The development of Windows Live One care has been ended.


    The replacement is Microsoft Security Essentials.


    Windows Defender is now included in Microsoft Security Essentials.

    You're still totally wrong. Running a program as administrator has nothing
    to do with uninstalling the program.

    May be my choice of words is not up to par.
    Run As Administrator would have the necessary permissions to perform certain
    tasks which require elevated rights, such as un-installing a program.

    No, it is your concept which is wrong.

    Run as Administrator applies only to the one specific application which is
    started in that mode, and only for the duration of that particular instance
    of the application.

    Perhaps you were trying to suggest logging on to *the* Administrator
    account to perform the uninstallation. This is a very different idea.

    If that is what you meant, I would expect it to work, but I am not sure. I
    have never had a problem with permissions when uninstalling applications
    that I have installed, so I've never tried or researched using the
    Administrator account to uninstall an app.

    I just read a post on a (slightly) related topic from lemur, which gave me
    this idea.

    Find the program's "program files" or "program files (x86)" folder and see
    if there is an uninstaller in that folder. Run *that* program with elevated
    privileges (same as "Run as Administrator"). It should do the job.

    If that is what you meant all along, then I didn't manage to get it from
    what you said - sorry.

    That's what I meant. Even on CMD ( command prompt ) one needs to right
    click, click Run as Administrator if one wants to do a System File Check (
    sfc ).
    OK. Case closed.

    Hi, desiree.

    HOW are you trying to remove the program?

    Please tell us, step by step, what keys you press or click and what messages
    you see. Please don't paraphrase, but post the messages verbatim. (You MAY
    be able to copy'n'paste the message into your next post.)

    In Vista, we normally use Control Panel | Programs and Features, highlight
    the application we want to remove, click Uninstall, and let Vista do the
    rest. Is that what you are doing? What messages are you seeing? (I'm
    using Win7 now and I don't recall at which point Vista asks for
    Administrator credentials, even if you are running in an Administrator
    account, but that is normal behavior for Vista. Win7 automatically removes
    a few of the removable barricades in this process.)

    From what you just said, I'm still not sure if you and I are on the same
    page here...
