Bill, The Account setup when you originally installed Win7 is "suppose" to have full Administrator rights and privileges, all others must use the Run as Administrator to get full Admin rights (even with a Admin group priviledges). If you turn UAC (User Access Control) off, may solve some of this, but MS recommends UAC to be turned on and used.
