Re: What's preventing me from installing WMP11 with error code 800

Yes. The security settings are greyed out. The main software I've installed
in the past month (and to start up the laptop did crash an awful lot) was
Norton Security 2008.

Run gpedit.msc . This will start the Group Policy Editor.
Go to the Local Computer object, then going to Local Computer Policy,
Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies,
then User Rights Assignment.

What are the Security Settings for Policy "Back up files and directories"?

What software have you installed in the past month or so? It would be great
to know who's munging the system this way. =\

That's more explicit (see below). I don't know how to correct this since
the
user login I use is the only member of the administrator group. I did
delete
the original user login which was used to update windows xp in the past.
Do
you think that could be the cause?
