Solve : Windows ME - Administrator Authority? |
|
Answer» HI All, Please help!!!! I am currently trying to install a web cam (vimicro) ONTO my PC, but as I follow the set up instructions I receive the following error message: "The package should be installed by the account with administrator authority. Login by the account with administrator authority and run set up again!" It's a bit odd, because it is a home PC (not on a network), and all users use the same account (the log on SCREEN does not appear when turning on the PC). I have restored by PC to factory settings in case it was a fault with the system, and I have used a different driver disc and received the same error message. Any help would be great! Thanks StuartWhat Windows version? Any other problems? Can you access Control Panel? Can you access Add\Remove?The webcam driver may not be designed for Windows Me. AFAIK, Me didn't have Administrator accounts: you either were using the computer or not. Most ran away from Windows Me. Try just plugging it in, sometimes it works like that. If you want to loook at what the webcam is seeing, download Amcap from www.noeld.comHi All, It is Windows Millennium Edition. New problems are also starting to surface: The autorun function (on different CD installs) FREEZES my system I have access to the Control Panel, but the software I have uninstalled always appears back in the list when I re-enter. Windows is now very unstable and freezes & crashes (blue screen) every few minutes - irrelevant of what I am doing The Webcam is listed as compatible with Windows ME, but I am currently checking with the retailer. Finally, the PERMISSIONS message is shown when I try to install FM2005. I was previously able to install this.... Would a system restore resolve these problems? Thanks StuartGo to Start/Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter... Have your Windows ME CD handy. After it finishes re-boot.I tired, but I received the error: "windows cannot find 'sfc'. You may have typed it incorrectly......etc....." Any other ideas? Cheers! There is a space between sfc and the forward slash... sfc /scannow.Yes, I tried that, no luck.... Stil the same message... Windows ME doesn't have sfc.exe, and actually, Micro$oft was proud about removing it. Stupid... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;274090With Windows ME, your only repair option is to reinstall Windows over the top, and pray. |
