|||| login with administrator privilages and try again'.
||||
|||| There is only one account on my PC and that is most definately an Admin
|||| account. I have tried making another account with admin privilages but it
|||| still does not work. As a related note, I also get this problem when I try to
|||| use Windows Update (it just says that I can't use the site because I am not
|||| an admin).
||||
|||| I think this might be to do with the last time I had to re-install WinXP.
|||| The code that came with it had expired and I had to get a new one by ringing
|||| up some number it gave me. In all the other installs I have had this problem
|||| has not occured once.
||||
|||| Any help is gratefully appreciated.
