Need help installing Shockwave and Flash william.benamati 09-06-2005

When I try to install the new versions of Shockwave and Flash I get the
following message.

You do not have access to make the required system configuration
modifications. Please rerun this installation from an administrators
account.

I am running the home version of Windows XP and have full right. I also
have had this problem with PhotoParade. What can I do to get them
installed?



Thanks

Log on to Windows /as/ Administrator, not with Admin privileges.

And how is that done if we are using Fast User Switching?

I have found out what I don't have permission to My
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Shockwave

And

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ShockwaveFlash



Any Ideas?
