I get a message that says, the required operation requires elevation <run as administrator>. I am the owner of this laptop and I have administrative authority, why does this show and how can I fix this. Itunes store is the ONLY program I am having trouble with.Very , very frustrating.!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will assume you're using Windows Vista-7:


Try these steps instead:

1 Click start, and in the start menu search, type "cmd" (without the quotes) DO NOT PRESS ENTER!

2. Right click the "cmd" search result

3. Click "Run as Administrator"

4. If you get a pop up message, click yes or continue

5. Type the command in the window as you did above.


In an effort to try to prevent programs from messing with your computer, programs don't run under your administrator account unless you tell them to or they ask. This gives the Administrator (elevated) privelleges that you need.
