Fix Problems

[md66948]

I am running Spybot S&D with Microsoft Vista. I am now having problems with my Fix routine. There are some items I can't six because I am not the administrator. I am the administrator!! What is up with this?

How do I get Spybot S&D to understand I am the Administrator?

In Vista you must elevate the administrator rights in order run certain things within Spybot-S&D.

There are several ways to do that:
Elevate the administrative rights for a single running:
Instead of double clicking (left clicking) to start Spybot, right-click and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu.
Permanently elevate.
If you are running Spybot from a desktop shortcut for example, right click on the desktop shortcut and select Properties.
Then go into Application Compatibility and select "Run As administrator".

Right, I've run Spybot as administrator. It still says I need permission to get rid of the file. Whose permission? Bill Gates?

Beats me why you chose to post in md66948 (http://forums.spybot.info/member.php?u=52743)'s thread rather than respond in the thread you started so that someone can tell the problem you are having:
