I purchased a wireless USB adapter for an "old" PC running Windows ME, (states product is compatible) tried installing software and received message "Sorry! Please run as administrator!!" and installation aborts. I know that there is no real administrator rights in ME, but what do I need to change? Any ideas?
Thx

Shouldn't need to change anything, there is no concept of Administrators in Windows ME.

What is the make and model of the adapter you've bought?
