Can I install new hardware on my computer without having full Administrator privileges?

Question

I'm looking for a new graphics card for my 'pooter as I have several new programs that require faster rendering times. Unfortunately, I don't have full administrator privileges. Can I still install and configure a graphics card just the same? I can access 'Add Hardware' on the Control Panel and off the top of my head I can't think of any other possible conflicts so I assume that I COULD do this, but of course I'd like to make ABSOLUTELY sure before I try. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

It is a possibility that the driver install will not run without Admin privledges.

You should just ask the person who has Admin privledges to let you do it.
