T.2.1.2 Before installing, did you log in to Windows using an account with administrator rights?

Cause

If you do not log in as an administrator, you may not be able to access folders necessary for the installation.

Solution

Log in using an account with administrator authority and then install the software.

The following are explanations using Windows 7 and Windows XP as examples.

  1. Checking the account (when Windows 7® is used)

  1. From the [Control Panel] of your computer, select [User Accounts].

  2. The [User Accounts] dialog box appears. Users with administrator authority will have [Administrator] displayed for the [Group]. If this is not displayed, please log on with another account with administrator authority.

  1. Checking the account (when Windows ®XP is used)

  1. Click [Control Panel] from the Start button.

  2. When [Control Panel] opens, select [User Accounts].

  3. When the current logon account has administrator authority, [Computer administrator] is shown under the account name. When only accounts with [Limited account] are displayed, you need to use another account to log in to the system.
