I'm trying to install a driver for a new ethernet card. I
get "This installation is forbidden by system policy,"
etc.

I'm logged on as Administrator, which is in the
Administrators group. I've gone into the group policy
editor and made sure that all options were set to "Not
configured." Yet I still get this message, even when
logged in as Admistrator.

This particular computer has always been standalone and I
don't know why we would ever have configured it with
security restrictions. Any ideas on what is going on here?
