Windows 7 hd reads as write protected on program install

[DrDave]

I have just reinstalled Win 7, and am installing all my programs. I am installing an older small calendar program from Softkey, and had it installed previously, but now on installation, it reports the location is write protected. Can't seem to find the fix, but I'm sure someone out there knows the answer.

thanks in advance

You speak of User Access Control. This is a default setting of Windows 7 on installation.

way easier than typing it all out.

Yes, that totally got around the error. My program (made for Win 95) loaded without a problem, and now I cam print some files I created with it that I still use.

Thanks so much!
