I have this computer since Feb 2008, using Vista Home Premium and Small Business Office 2007 since then.
I get Windows updates w/o problems but every attempt to update my Office programs, Microsoft displays that I must be an Administrator to get updates.
If I go to User Accounts, my name shows with the Administrator title under it.
Why is Microsoft Office update not seeing that I am an Administrator?ZoneAlarm, BitDefender, Scan with Spyware Doctor, AVG, SpyBot

"Administrative credentials"?
Is this the same as running selecting Run as Administrator? I did that and did not make any difference. If not the same, how do I run with the "credentials"?ZoneAlarm, BitDefender, Scan with Spyware Doctor, AVG, SpyBot

Grey:
Try the following
Full Admin Account in Vista.
Click the START menu
In the RUN box type in CMD
At Dos prompt, type in NET USER ADMINISTRATOR /ACTIVE:YESLog off the current account. Relog in on the new Administrator account.
Right Now! Do not pass go do not collect $200, Put in a strong password on the account. Such as BaRbIe#93!
This account gives supreme rights.
Do your updates through this account.
To turn off the account.
Go to Start
Go to Run
Type in CMD
