    N.B

    By default the first and only account you create is automatically given Administrator rights...AFAIK.

    some ordinary windows tasks (ex. install,copy......) need to be administrator ....

    this is my notebook and never had this issue with vista nor pre W7 7100 RC,
    it only happened with W7 RC .........

    Am really getting nervous after 2 weeks search for solution........

    Did you trying doing/running these said tasks by right clicking the install files and choosing "Run as administrator"? :confused:

    Right click the my Computer on the Start Menu and select Manage. Under Local Users and Groups select Users and locate your user account. Right click it and select Properties; Under Member Of if Administrators is not in the list add it and click Ok.

    As I said before you really shouldn't be having these issues because by Default the first user account created is giving Administrator privileges.
