Administrative Mess

Count_Herout · 02-26-2016, 11:24 PM

I have a computer I don't use all that often with TB2.5 on it and Windows 7 Home. In terms of being user-friendly, 7 is BIG step down from XP, and not surprisingly TB2.5 is refusing to run on it.

It is installed on a user account with administrator privileges but constantly returns the error message:

"In order to finish initializing, this application must first be run by a user with administrator privileges.

"Please contact your system administrator for help. 5-2"

I'M the administrator! And, the error message gives me no way even to get at the problem (whatever it is), let alone fix it. All I can do is click it off!

I looked at one of the FAQ posts, which mentioned making certain the license-control box was checked. That thread starts by directing one to open the start button and enter "run." But, like I said, 7 (and 8) are pieces of crap, and there is no place to enter "run" on the start menu.

Does anyone here have any other procedure which might work?

Go to the Start button and try typing in RUN in the window just above it. Been awhile but I think I did that once.

Thanks, Cap, for the effort, but I'm still getting the same error message from eLicense Control:

"In order to finish initializing, this application must first be run by a user with administrator privileges.

"Please contact your system administrator for help. 5-2"

I am the administrator; I own the computer. It wants me to do something, but I don't have a clue re what to do.

Belay that!

Whatever I did, it works!
