This is necessary because administrator privileges are required in order to initially install SpecView, and subsequently to register and unregister ActiveX controls and to restore projects that contain ActiveX controls which have not yet been registered.

 

See ActiveX Need To Be Administrator.

 

On Windows XP:

 

Right-click the SpecView icon on the desktop and choose ‘Run As...’ from the popup-menu and enter an administrator username and password.

 

 

On Windows Vista or Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008:

 

Right-click the SpecView icon on the desktop and choose ‘Run As Administrator’ from the popup-menu.

 

NOTE: Ensure that the Administrator has setup suitable user access rights to the folder that SpecView was installed in.
