I am haveing the same problem with my two computers. You owning the computer
doesn't neccesarily mean that you are logged onto an account with
administrator priveleges. In fact the account that would be default on your
computers wouldn't be the "administrator" but a user account set up by xp
with administrator priveleges. But that doesn't help you or me either. If you
want to try logging in as the administrator anyways though you can push
ctrl+alt+del twice at the windows logon "welcome" screen and type in
administrator and the password that you specified during setup. If anyone has
any information that could possibly help us please, and thank you.
