Follow the steps below to do so: 1. Right click on the program shortcut. 2. Select "Run as administrator". Check if you are getting the same error message. If it works, you need to create a new administrator user account which might help you in resolving the issue. You may try creating new user account by following the instructions in the link below and check if it is working.
