Re: Installing a program from the Owner profile?

- If you have XP Home, boot up into Safe Mode (when BIOS screen turns
black hit F8 several times and choose that option). You will see an
account named "Administrator". This one is an administrative account.
Create there (I mean, in Safe Mode) a new administrative accound by
going to Control Panel > User accounts and restart normally. Log in into
this new account and install the software.

- If you have XP Professional, hit twice Ctrl+Alt+Del in welcome screen
and you will see there you "Adminstrator" account (named so). Do the
same: create a new account and so on.
