BF3 & Origin install probs

[joncoo]

Hi - has anyone had problems installing BF3/Origin on Windows 7 64-bit?

When I insert the BF3 disc it goes through the Origin install all ok (installs to "Program Files (x86)/Origin", but when I try to install BF3 Origin keeps telling me I have to be an administrator to install. I only have one user profile set up on my PC (which is a admin profile), and I've tried opening Origin by right clikcing and "run as administrator" but still the problem persists.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon

Try turning off UAC temporarily,
personally I never have it on but thats not recommended.
Go to control panel/user accounts/change user account control settings/put the slider down to "never notify"/you may have to restart computer.

Thanks JakAttack - I've tried disabling the firewall but not disabling Bullguard completely, will try that tonight.

You might find this helpful if using bullguard as when using the beta bf3 this is what i had to do or my system would not shut down.
