If there is another account on the computer that means that your side has been blocked because your account on the computer is limited, It will only let you do certain things. You need to talk to the person who is the administrator on the computer to install it for you. (If it is a school or library computer they will not allow you no matter what you do)

Because you are not loggen in as "Administrator".

You unable to install kaspersky antivirus in your hcl laptop with vista you are getting an error that the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installationhow to install it?

Answer Chances are that you are trying to download the software when you are using a user account other than the administrator account. With computers especially pcs there are user accounts. A user account is a profile that you use to download software, make changes and more. When you first buy a computer the default setting is administrator. Which means you can do everything. Accounts are good because they allow a person to share the use of their computer but sametime they can restrict access to sensitive files and abilities. To fix this problem go to your start menu in the bottom left of the screen and click control panel. There you will find an icon with the name User Accounts. Then click on the Administrator one. It will then show you the settings that have been enabled and you can change it from there.

When installing updates windows 8 fails i turned of windows 8 updates but it still keeps trying to install the one it had previously downloaded how do i delete this?

It is best to let the Windows 8 install completely before trying to delete it. This occurs when the initial download is paused or stopped. Once you complete the first download, you can remove the operating system and begin an entirely new download to prevent Windows 8 from failing again in the future.


How do you install full version of Angry Birds?

The device you are trying to install it on should have an app store eg. Apple products have them.

You get an error message trying to install Norton Antivirus Message is Administrator has prohibited access to cddvd Rom drives What can you do?

Ask the administrator to install the antivirus for you, or copy it on another kind of storage, for instance, a flash drive. Or if you have Administrator rights unblock the CD-ROM. Start->Control Panel->Administrative tools->Local security settings->Local policies->Security options. Locate the policy "Devices: Restrict CD-ROM access...". Double click on it and choose disable, confirm and restart you PC.
