Surface pro 2 – Skydrive Metro does not sync to Cloud, Need admin rights ???

Hi,

 

Started using surface pro 2 few weeks ago. Using Skydrive with same account from 2 PC and a surface pro 2 to access and sync files in cloud, but the surface pro Skydrive app gets my crazy and seem totally disconnected. It has been working fine and suddenly it stopped. Meanwhile I had installed skydrive desktop app on 2 other PC and all was fine...But now I am unable to get it to sync or do anything after several days trying. the 2 other work as expected using the Skydrive Desktop Windows 7 application installed.

- Can access and upload Skydrive folders and docs from web browser, no issues  from any PC and from Surface pro 2

- Can sync and access from Desktop app  on 2 PC running Windows 7. No issues

 - From Surface Pro 2, the Skydrive folder seems --- frozen in time, 1 week ago. No sync happening. When I try to upload a folder from the metro app it gives error message telling me I need admin rights ?!! I noticed I had installed the desktop app of skydrive on this surface , so I uninstalled as I realize this is not required, but nothing I do seem to unlock the situation. Surface pro 2 can't sync any file, folder or create  / upload anything to my skydrive account: I get the error message. Since I use same account as from the other PC...

 

From skydrive web, I see my  2 other PC, the Surface pro 2 is not listed.

 

I am looking how to debug this thing... nothing in the windows event log ... very very complicated to xshoot.

 

Any ideas welcome.

 

Thanks !

Hi,

 

need your help. I run Win 7 home premium and my user was set up as an administrator. After I installed SkyDrive I keep getting this error which tells me to restart SkyDrive without admin rights. I CAN'T do that. When I googled this community and on the net the only answer appears to relate to Vista, NOT Win 7. The only way it seems to work is if I download the SkyDrive app every time if I want to upload something, else upload manually via a browser. Can anyone please help? Thx.
