Question by smiley: Why is my home computer telling me I can’t download something as I don’t have administrator rights?
I have only ever had this problem arise in the office before, as we don’t have permission to download anything. However, how is that I don’t even have administrator rights on my own computer? It’s something to do with Citrix that I need to download, in connection with childcare vouchers. Can anyone help please?

Some things need to be installed under an Administrator account and not just an account that has Administrator privileges. It’s a blasted nuisance, but something we have to live with.
What do you think? Answer below!
It sound like you have more than one user account one your pc. At the start up screen, do you have a choice of names you can pick.??
If you do, you have to use the one that has admin rights.
Do you have more than one profile set up on the computer for more than one person? If so then one of them will have admin rights. Use that profile to change yours into an administrator profile, you can do this on the control panel. This should allow you to download
Sounds like you have Vista, if so, you have a big problem.
