Please confirm what version of OS X you are running, and what software you are trying to install.

Hi Klaus1,

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
