I thought I'd try M$'s SkyDrive and when installing it get this error message:

"SkyDrive can't be run using full administrator rights. Please restart SkyDrive without administrator rights"

That's gotta be a first, right?

How do I get round it - I'm the only user of this computer apart from the "Administrator" that came with it?

Vista Home Premium - up to date with updates as far as I know

Thanks

Just an idea:-)

Just as a hunch I turned on User Account Control, and hey presto, it worked! How lame is that??!!
