I will try getting rid of Nero, but I have never been able to get
administrator rights to a copy of XP Home. I should be able to since I
installed it. I was able to with XP Pro on my other computer. How do I get
Admin access to XP Home?? During the install there was never a dialogue box
asking for an Admin account user as there was with Pro.
