program must started administrator

It was a problem under XP too. You created a limited account, and it turned out that you were unable to start certain programs. So you thought that limited accounts were worthless. I have been using XP with an administrator account for years, and I have only recently discovered how to use XP with a limited account, which is so much safer.
Vista is worse.
Some programs, such as Agent (which I am using right now to enter a message in the newsgroup) even cannot be started if you log on as Admin. Of course you made sure that you had access rights to the Agent files. But the program crashes immediately, without error message, and you have no idea why.
Agent can be started (under any user account) by right clicking on it, and selecting 'Run as Administrator'.

PSP 6? They're on 10. :-D

Adobe Bridge will not work unless you have the user account control turned off, so I keep it turned off in order to use Bridge. This occurs even if you have it set to run as administrator.

Hello Mr. Evan
That is why Vista is a Beta to find problems with 3rd party software and anything else even if they are old

If you want compatibility with a cutting edge beta OS then yes, you should have the latest version.
Reporting bugs in programs 5 years old isn't going to get you very far. PSP 6 is *not* going to be fixed.

I don't think Microsoft cares much if there's a problem running a 5 year old program. Much like if I tried to install PSP X on Windows 3.11.

Thank you BeckyWC, your reply helped me get Bridge running. I almost reinstalled an old Windows version so that I could use Bridge.
Now I find that I cannot not access other computers in my LAN with either Bridge or Photoshop unless I map a network drive. Others might encounter this.

I am having the same issues with the following programs: Corel Paint Shop Pro (PSP) X - Seems to install ok, but when I attempt to run it, I get this message: "To start this application for the first time or to activate it, log in using an administrator-level account." I am logged in with an Administrator account (at least it's the only account on my PC. I did a clean install of Vista using the defaults and under User Accounts it is listed as an Administrator).
I also received a similiar message from Microsoft Money 2006. It opened ok, but kept giving me error messages that said I had to be an administrator to run the updates for the first time. I eventually ignored this message, left Money open and running, and the updates installed anyway.

Instead of clicking on the icon, right-click on the icon and choose "Run as Administrator." Vista and XP do not treat the word Administrator the same when it regards user accounts.

Vista redefines Administrator. Go into properties\security for the programs in question and set them to run as admin. then you will get the UAC bitch box asking if you really do want to run this potentially dangerous software.
