Thank you for getting back to me. Both the MacBook Pro and Mac Mini are running the latest version of OS X Lion 10.7.5.
I am trying to install Samsung printer software. On the Mini though I cannot install ANYTHING, google earth, printer software, modem software etc...
I just get to the stage I have to enter my password for permission. It won't accept a wrong password, accepts the right password but window just goes away and back to install page when you click install asks for the password again..Very frustrating.
Thank you.
Regards
