    Illustrator activation

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this but...
    I just got a PC with Windows Vista and Illustrator is giving me an error, that I should login as an administrator in order to proceed with the activation (i'm the only user and admin on this computer)
    I tried on a Windows XP and it worked fine... any thoughts??

    This may work..

    Right click the illustrator shortcut or exe file and then click "Run as Administrator"

    It worked!!

    Hey Sangit it worked, thanks!! Now is photoshop that is acting up, it installed fine and everything but won't let me edit the pictures (brushes, eraser, etc)
    Is it ok to blame Vista for this, because I'm one step of going back to XP?

    My opinion is that Vista is not yet a good/mature operating system for design tasks. It also eats up alot of system resources. I personally still use XP and I think I'll use it for a long time.
    And yes, I think that it's OK to blame Vista for this. And much more...haha
