Just got a new laptop with windows 7, Tried to install Office 2007 with my disk, It told me only admin could install this program. I am the admin, how do I get around this. I.ve install other programs like advast but they were from a USB drive.

That is working,Thanks. what I don't understand Why Microsoft Sets these systems this way, One thing I noticed Is you can't change the desktop like you could in XP and Vista, No Classic setup. And I Cant find network places

Don't ask me about M$ ways. They're very mysterious to me too :)
