Rights/security on Vista?

[Ivan Debono]

Hi all,

I have a Vista HP machine and I'm trying to install a program. The program
seems to install fine because no errors crop up during the setup process.
I'm logged in as the administrator and I've also ran the setup as an
administrator.

The program has some sort of security feature that generates an 8-digit
number based on the PC config (hd, registry, etc.). This is where the
problem starts. This security feature is somehow being blocked and I can't
register the software because this information is missing.

Anyone has any iedas on how to permit such operations?

Thanks,
Ivan

Logically, your first step is to contact the makers of the program and
ask them. Possibly they have a patch or a more recent version of the
program or a workaround.
