Insufficient security permissions to set the system date windows 7

Are you sure that the lines you showed are where your getting the error from? I ask because, the lines you are showing are only getting the system date from the computer and should not require any special security privileges. If you are trying to set the date somewhere in your code then that will require your app to be run with Administrator privileges. Try closing Visual Basic and then right click on the icon shortcut that you use to start VB and select Run As Administrator and see if that works.

Show "Not Admin" End If if you run that code normally whilst logged on as administrator you will get the "Not Admin" messagebox.

If you right click on the program and do Run As Administrator then you will get the "Admin" messagebox when the code executes. Note that you are not running the program as a different user, its still run under your own user account but its just run with full admin permissions enabled. Last edited by chris; Jul 8th, at PM.

However the old folders stayed in case the user wanted to roll back or if there was a error during the copying process. Thus those folders were like a backup. However though just like "Windows. At some point in time during the installation or removal I do not remember exactly what was the process of the upgrade , there will be a shortcut replacing where the folders were located and the old folders were moved.

During the deletion of the old folders, it has been known to occur that the shortcuts were not delted even though the folders were. I had performed an initial install of a newer version of Windows. Time for a repair upgrade, already?? It's getting to a point where I can't even install an application due to permissions or privilege issues!!!!!!!

You should probably show us the code snippet where you retrieve the system date and also where you write the value of the system date to the label1.

Text field. If you are only trying to display the date, then you likely have a syntax error there which is attempting to write back to the system date as opposed to just reading it.
