    Default Administrator

    I have windows 7. I cannot run as Administrator. I right click on Spybot and click on Run AS Administrator and when I try and fix my problems it still says I have to Run As Administer. Please help.

    Hello mle4313,

    "On Windows Vista and Windows 7, Spybot-S&D might tell you that you are not authorized to perform some actions, since they require Administrator rights. You can solve this problem as follows:

    1. Right-click the Spybot - Search & Destroy entry in your start menu, instead of just left-clicking to start it.
    2. Choose Run as administrator from the context menu."

    From our FAQ here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/42.html

    There is also a screen shot which should help.

    Best regards.

    Hello,

    Please try this:
    rightclick the Spybot icon, select Properties, Compatibility Tab, and under Privilege level, checkmark "Run this program as an administrator", then click Apply, and OK.

    Best regards
