I RECENTLY PURCHACED THIS USED LAPTOP FROM A CO-WORKER WHO HAS MOVED TO
SOMEWHERE IN FLORIDA. PROBLEM: I CANNOT CHANGE THE DISPLAY SETTINGS OR
ADD/DELETE PROGRAMS DUE TO AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING THAT THE OPERATION IS
TERMINATED AND TO SEE THE ADMINISTRATOR. SINCE I AM NOW THE ADMINISTRATOR,
HOW CAN I DELETE/UPDATE SETTINGS TO REFLECT NEW OWNERSHIP AND RID MYSELF OF
THIS BLOCK?
1: Ow, my ears hurt from your screaming (all caps).
2: Ow, my eyes hurt from having to read all caps.
3: A child tries to command attention by screaming.
4: Screamers should be ignored.
5: From your lower-cased moniker, obviously your keyboard is not broke with a stuck Shift key.

For a solution:
- Insert the bootable installation CD into the CD/DVD drive.
- Boot the computer.
- Boot from the CD.
- Start the install.
- Select to format the current OS partition to wipe out all the old crap.
- Continue the installation of a fresh copy of the OS.
(Yeah, I didn't follow my own advice #4.)
