    older DirectX setup requires admin rights - even though I do have admin rights.


    Hello everyone,I am on windows 10 pro 22H2, build 19045.4780 64I am having an issue with an older game Zuma Deluxe, specificallyI doubt hardware is the problem, but just in case, I am posting it here:GPU: GTX 1080CPU: i7 8700kRAM: 32gb ddr4It requires an older instance of directX, so I've decided to go and install it.Of course, that's when I run into this issue.My account does have admin privileges and I've tried various ways to run it yes, right clicking and "Run as admin", trying to make a new admin account for the sole purpose of running it, compability modes and yet, it always failed

    admin rights keep disappearing!?!!

    Hi guys,

    I am actually having a problem at work that our IT department hasn't been able to figure out. I am supposed to be a member of the admin group. We are on a domain. The problem is that everytime I reboot the computer I loose my admin rights(no longer in the administrator group) and just become a normal user again. I have tried googling this and didn't get to many results.
    I believe IT is just giving me local admin rights, not admin rights for the whole domain.

    Any suggestions?

    EDIT: It is on Windows XP Pro.

    No admin rights

    Downloaded as suggested on a USB. Tried to install but was blocked with no admin rights. Very frustrating.

    Admin Rights

    These require Admin Rights, which I don't have access to
