| Re: NEED HELP vista wont let me extract files Right click on the WINRAR icon, and go to Properties (last item on the menu). Click the Compatibility tab, and click both "Run this program in compatibility mode" for Windows XP and the "Run this program as an administrator" options. Then click OK, and start it. You should get a UAC prompt. Click through it and when WINRAR starts, open your archive file. I'm pretty sure you should then be able to unpack to the Program Files directory tree now. BTW, running an app in an administrator account is not the same as running an app with administrator privelages. I know it makes no sense, but that's the way it is with apps not designed to work with Vista's new Use Account Control. Let us know if it this works. ~Ken "texasallstar696" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:9aea1d2b12217a5a0c929e0ae6682502@nntp-gateway.com... > > Well you see the thing is i am in administrator mode or is their another > thing i have to do like in winrar is their something i need to turn on. > Because I am the administrator. > > > -- > texasallstar696 |
