Admin problem in Vista
I have a PC the appears to have a problem that admin privileges appear to be revoked when login on with an admin account?
I tried setting up a new user with admin right and have the same problem. For example, when I run Spybot, anti-virus scanning etc, it comes back and says, You don't have sufficent rights and need to be signed on as an Admin. Any ideas or ideas how this can be fixed? Cheers

Is the user a member of administrators and users? I occasionally saw problems in XP where the lowest privilege was given prevalence.

UAC is on but it's as if it doesn't exist because i would have expected to prompt.
The user is a member of the admin group
