    I'm trying to install a game demo, Fifa manager 08, but the installer aborts.
    There is a message saying I need admin rights but I already do.

    I tried to right click the installer and choose run as administrator but got the same message. The game is supposed to be compatible with Vista.

    Any suggestions?

    If you right click and chose run as admin...and u still get that message, that would be very, very strange. Is it possible that the "admin" just don't have enough "admin" privileges :rolleyes: ...doesn't sound right. Try downloading and installing another program and see what happens...maybe that game doesn't want to be installed. :p
