Permissions

I have just installed vista home premium and tried to install my first
program which is a motherboard driver update. i am trying to save into the
'program files' folder but it tells me that i don't have permission 'contact
the administrator'

i have created my own user account and i am an administrator (not standard
account).

why can't i save to this location?

thanks.

steve.

just found the answer....

in the user accounts, turn off 'user account control'
