-pops- Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Well, the obvious answer is to gain admin rights.The point of having administrator rights, passwords and such like in a computer system is to prevent undue meddling by all and sundry.There may be methods to overcome all of these but it would defeat the object of the precautions being in place if these were commonly known.Can you get your user account upgraded? If not then there's not much chance of a solution which won't upset the computer, the other users or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 There is no way round really... consult the administrator and ask them to install it for you or give you admin rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepricaun Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 There is no way round really... consult the administrator and ask them to install it for you or give you admin rights. i do not agree, i can give you plenty of ways of getting around, but like you suggested, it would be best to just ask for it to prevent problems.
