background information: i am running windows vista on my recently purchased dell xps m1210. i dont usually connect to the internet only because i forgot my wireless network password (i just use an ethernet cable) so sometimes im behind on updates. recently, itunes got an upgrade so i decided to get it.
problem: when i install it/overwrite my older version, my computer says i cannot because administrative options are preventing it. so im like wtf?! i tried to uninstall it and reinstall the newer version in an attempt to outsmart the computer. nope. again, it says that i need administrative permission or something like that. why wont it let me uninstall certain programs? in this case, itunes? last time i checked, im the only user, and im the administrator.
someone told me to try the right-click, and run as administrator option. well, the installation process started up and halfway into the installation, i encountered a different problem: it says that the following applications are using files that need to be updated by this installer. close these applications and click retry to continue.
windows explorer (process id: blah blah)
can someone please help me out? i am getting very pissed off.
