      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size:14px;"&gt;To make sure TurboTax runs smoothly:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;

 &lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size:14px;"&gt;Verify that you have &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/product-setup/administrator-rights-windows-7-8-10/L97imSpIK_US_en_US" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size:14px;"&gt;administrator rights&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;on your computer and TurboTax is running as administrator:&lt;/SPAN&gt;
  &lt;UL&gt;
   &lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size:14px;"&gt;Right-click the TurboTax icon or setup icon and select Properties. In the Compatibility tab, select the Run this program as administrator box and select OK.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
  &lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
