@Michael Richardson14/">@@Michael Richardson14: Have you tried right-clicking the program and selecting "Run as Administrator" before you launch it? Does that change anything on your end?

I have that option available, but I'm still running into the exact same wall. It simply refuses to install unless I am logged directly into an administrator account.

On my Windows 7 setup, I’ve got two separate accounts: one administrator account and one standard user account.

Everything works perfectly fine when I'm logged into the admin account and want to install something. However, whenever I try to run an installer from the standard user account, I get that classic prompt asking, "Would you like to allow this app to make changes to your device...?" which then asks for the administrator password. Now, that part is totally normal behavior, but here’s where things fall apart: once I type in the admin password, absolutely nothing happens. Sometimes, the program I'm trying to update—like MSN Messenger, for instance—just hangs there indefinitely. No matter how long I sit around waiting, the installation never actually finishes.

I realize that I should be able to complete an installation from a standard user account without any hiccups, provided I have the right credentials, but on my version of Windows 7 (which is fully licensed, by the way), it just refuses to cooperate.

I appreciate the info, truly, but I think I made it quite clear that those extra perks aren't what I'm looking for; my focus is strictly on roadside assistance and seeing how the cost of this flyer stacks up against an AAA membership.

What are your thoughts on whether it makes more sense to pay for an annual AAA membership $67 or just grab a Zabka flyer? I’m debating if getting the flyer is worth it primarily for that specific service, since I really don't have much use for travel or home insurance.
