quick office 2007

SUPER_JESUS

hey guys i just got office 2007 and am having a problem installing it. every time i try to boot the cd it tells me that i have to be an administrator to install. the problem with this is I only have one account on this computer and it is the administrator. its a new hp dv6000 and i am running vista. any ideas would be great guys
thanks

Explore the cd, right lick on the setup file, choose properties, then the compatibility tab, and click run as administrator. Really though, under normal circumstances, Office 2007 shouldn't need administrator privileges to run, and even if it did, UAC should intervene and provide you the pirvileges you need.

edit: I just rmembered that you can choose run as administrator as an option when you right click. You don't need to do the rest of the process unless you want it to be permanent.

Can u disable some of the security features in vista? From what ive heard they are pretty pointless for a home user and can cause a lot of trouble. Im not 100% sure about this, just heard some stuff from a friend with vista.

Please don't post in H/A if you don't actually know the answer to the question.
