Adobe Gamma needs admin privileges to run, but person IS admin...

[aquaboy1976]

I have a person that is trying to use adobe gamma. It gives them the message "To be able to run Adobe Gamma you must log on with Administrative Privileges". The person is an admin on their machine, yet it still gives that message. I tried to uninstall photoshop and went and deleted any remaining files that had to do with adobe gamme and then reinstalled photoshop. It still gives the message.

Anyone else encountered this?

They may believe they have admin privledges but may not.

Have they logged onto (that PC) as administrator with the admin password, as opposed to logging in as a user that may/may not have admin rights?

I apoligize if you have already tried this.

They have administrative rights to the machine, but their account has no kind of administrative rights.
If I log in under my account which has "elevated privileges", I have no problems running Adobe Gamma.

I believe Local Admin rights means you can log on to the local PC and do whatever you want unless another admin has locked you out of folder Etc.

If you log into the PC as a domain user, you may have not been added to the admin group.

I've never been awear of elevated priviledges within an administrator account.

You may want to ask your original question in the appropriate Windows forum, 2K, Xp etc., and you should get a better answer than I can supply.
