Windows How do you make a admin account?

well how do you i tryed installing wow didn't work, they say you need to be on admin account to install it, trouble is i don't have any admin acounts so can you tell me how to make one thanks

 

You should be an admin by default.

Try right clicking and using the "Run as Administrator" option.

 

No i don't get that option. What the problem is i install wow, create the account, login, get in but then it says patch required, and you have to go back to original page to install it, and then it says failed to apply patch.

 

Honestly, I'm not helping you unless you can use a bit of punctuation, proper capitalization, and spelling. It doesn't take that much longer, and makes it so that we can all read what you have written.

 

Sorry mate. Edited it now. my spelling is not very good.

Edit: It could be because of sever maintance.

 

off the wow forums..

run launcher.exe as admin (right click the file- run as administrator)

 

i don't have the latest patch file every time i try installing it it says:

This update requires "WoW.exe" version 3.1.2.9901. You have an older version, 2.3.0.7561.

 

have you tried searching for the patch rather than using the auto updater ???

 

Download the 3.0 installer from Blizzard, and install from that instead of your disks.

Then get patches from here.

 

on vista? right click command prompt, run as administrator, then type 'net user administrator /active:yes'

 

Catch 22 is you must be signed in to an admin account in order to create another admin account. And as OP doesn't know the admin details...

 

Ok got it up and running on my desktop but the graphics card broke a day later. So i tryed putting it on my laptop but know the problem is that i load it up have to restart game to load patches this time it works right till the point it says i need to be in a admin account to install burning crusade, the thing is i am in a admin account. So what the hell is going on? I am pulling my hair out at this problem.

 

What OS are you on?
XP, Vista, 7?

If you are on a limited account and don't have access to an Admin account you can't do it, (Try booting into safe mode - F8 on start up and then try Administrator with a blank password).
If it is 100% your machine and you have simply 'forgot' the password you can crack it.

 

I have just tryed in safe mode. but it went to the same acount as the one I am usually on, and the internet didn't work and no games worked either. I am on 32bit vista Home Premium.
