clarification to Re: how do i change to computer administrator?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



This is for a file that allows you to change owner. I am
alreadylisted as the owner, only operator and system administrator
when I check the user icon in the control panel. Please re-read my
question: " Now I am trying to install my Street Atlas software which
says WindowsXP capable. I get errors and the Atlas installation
instructions say to re-install using selective startup and clear all
options except System.ini. When I try to do this system says I must
be logged on as Administrator to do this. I am the system
administrator? If I just go ahead and re-start most programs are not
triggered but I am still not able to install Street Atlas correctly.
Can some one please explain how to log in as the system administrator
beyond being the only person on PC and already the administrator?"
