Dear SD,
Great programme by the way!
I'm sure you will have covered this already. Although I am an adminstrator, search and destroy will not permit me use certain functions as I do not have adminstrator rights. I understand (possibly!) that this is to do with the way vista manages accounts and internal security.
Apologies if this covers old ground but I would really appreciate some advice.
Kind regards,
James

Hello,

Windows Vista might tell you that you are not being allowed to operate at the administration level of your computer.
You can solve this problem as follows:
Right-click the Spybot - Search & Destroy entry in your start menu,
instead of just left-clicking to start it.
Then, choose Run as administrator from the context menu.
You will find a screenshot of this problem in our FAQ:

Best regards
