Hello, I get a pop up box that says I do not have enough permissions to use all the features of the program I am about to run. You may run this program as a different user or may continue to run the program as the current user. So I continue and then nothing happens no messages or anything. just nothing.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

  • Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
  • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected

Thank you. I looked and nothing was checked. I have Vista Home Basic. I checked run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP service pack 2 since there was no Vista to select. The program Installed and worked just fine. Thank you for your help. Kirk
