[pc]Not enough access privilages?

Hello, I use a copy of windows 7 ultimate 32bit, however, while my mate assures me that it's 100% legit, judging from the Store purchased cd having no label (he claims his mate is a beta tester at microsoft and got it as a reward or something) and knowing some of his history (he downloads just about anything) I suspect it's pirated.

Anyway, on his, it's fine, no dramas, on mine, I've been getting these access privilages warnings...if I'm saving a pic it may say I may lack the rights to save it (and then if I try again it'll let me save-or save without the error).


And now it's affecting itunes with "lacks privileges to saves itunes library" even though all i need is infact saved.



So what can I do here, do I need to change any settings, or must I re-install?


Oh and before you ask, I AM the admin, the only account in this laptop.

 

I think you can try turning off UAC.

They are already off for some reason...

 

How do I tell?

He's is fine.

We used the same disc.

 

...on what?

The disc just looks like a standard bought blank disc.



All i know is it's got one of those code things that say's it's authentic even though it's not (was advised to not use a certain update that checks for this)

 

I don't know where to look...all I see is my clock and standard power icons.

 

I use Windows 7 too, and I don't see any build number.

 

Should I post a screen shot?

 

Sure, if you can.

 

I'll post an older one.

Only for loonylion's request.

I also tried enabling "full control" on my user account, still seeing errors.

 

I see the following...

-check anti vorus options (wtf-I got eset working!)

-Update windows defender

-change windows update settings

-check for solutions for unreported problems

-Set up backup



Nothing related to the privilege options.

 

Nice message on your desktop :

Anyways, I too have that flag icon. But that's from the weird DATA (D being full

What does that have to to do with the problem at hand? He has privelege errors.

 

So it's not a fake version of Windows 7?
