    i recently got a new laptop with windows vista premium 32-bit.

    i've been trying to install my copy of office 2007 with cd, but it consistently states that i need to be an administrator to install, even though i have the only user account on my laptop. any suggestions?

    Try Disabling UAC(user access control) or right click on the setup exe and go to properties and to navigate to the compatibility tab and click "run as administrator"

    You can also right click on the Office setup.exe and select "Run as admistrator" from the context menu.

    note-if you turned off the UAC, remember to turn it back on!
