Eleanor, to disable user access control: 1. Press the windows button and then type 'user' in the search box; 2. Arrow down the list until you get to 'change user account control settings'' and press enter; 3. In the dialog box that appears, tab once and you will have focus on a slider bar. Move the left or right arrow key until this indicates '0'. Before doing this, take a note of the value currently set, i.e. 50% 100% so that you can re-enable the setting later if you wish, personally I have it switched off all the time; 4. Tab to the 'OK' button and press enter. The User Access Control is now disabled. However, it might be administrator privileges you need to change, if so, then do the following: 1. Press the Windows key and type 'user' and then arrow key down the list to 'user accounts' and press enter; 2. In the dialog box that appears, tab down 3 times to 'change your account type' and then press enter; 3. Depending on how your system was set up, there should be radio buttons that indicate the type of account, select the 'administrator account' radio button if not already selected; 4. Tab to the 'OK' button and press enter. The changes may need a reboot, so do this and then try to activate the Duxbury software again. Hopefully this will sort the problem.
