  • Administrator rights not being recognised

    I use FTM 2009. When I tried to get updates today I got message that I
    need to be an administrator. My husband and I are the only users and we use the one account which is an administrator account. Is this just a glitch with FTM all other progs seem to be ok.

    When you open the program, right click on the icon on your desktop and you should get an option to "Run as Administrator". If you select that it should allow you to get any updates.

      Elaine's information is correct.
      For some reason, even if you have preset your own profile as 'Adminstrator', Windows still runs some programs in a safer mode than is required for updates, so the right-click will allow this for you.
