Entering registration code problem

Hi, I searched on registration problems but there are so many hits I couldn't find the answer to this one, though I'm sure it's come up so sorry for repeating it.

I registered online, received code, and the program won't let me enter the code saying I'm not logged in as administrator. I'm the only user and have assigned and re-assigned administrator privileges to myself.

Any help on getting the dang code into the program so it doesn't self-destruct? I'm running out of days!!

Thanks bunches in advance,

Thanks, Beagle, will try tonight. I'm using Vista home edition--any idea why the software doesn't recognize my current user priveleges? Should I clear the registry?

here is an easier way...... close program and get to desktop. put mouse over icon and right click. In drop down box choose run as admin.... that'll do it...... it's a little vista trick that no one tells you about........

Final Word on Registering MC4 with Vista---

1. (fyi to Mr. Beagle) no creating of new accounts with admin status will solve this, i.e. allow entering of registration code

2. In the "user account" dialog box accessed from control panel, there is an option to turn on or off "user account control" altogether. You must turn off user account controls altogether, then reboot, and you can enter registration code, and it never asks for it again. You can then change your status back to "administrator" for all other functions.

yeah, but how do you REALLY feel, Albert?
