Running Programs as an Administrator

Top  Previous  Next

When running some of the PhonePad 5 programs, you may get an Access Denied error message or a message that says the program requires elevated privileges.  This can happen even when you are a fully-fledged Windows administrator.

 

This has nothing to do with the PhonePad software and everything to do with how Windows handles user access rights.

 

You can normally get around this problem by right-clicking on the application and selecting Run as Administrator from the menu.

You will need to do this each time you run one of these applications.  There is a way you can get Windows to "remember" that you want to run the application as an Administrator.

 

Right-click on the application but this time select Properties.  Next, select the Compatibility tab and check the Run this program as an administrator check box.  Then click OK.
