Hello,
I would start by checking group policy to make sure the administrators
accounts have the correct user rights.
Run MMC.
Select Add-remove Snap-in
Choose Group Policy
choose ok
and OK again
Drill Down under group policy to:
Local Computer Policy
Computer configuration
Windows Settings
Security Settings
Local Policies
User Rights Assignments.
Minimally to install an SP administrators need these rights
Backup Files and Directories
Restore Files and Directories
Manage auditing and security log
Take ownership of files or other objects
Debug programs (only required for Hot-patching)
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

<10 days ago I performed a repair installation of XP Pro after upgrading
the
<motherboard. That left a few unresolved issues, detailed in another
thread,
<which deteriorated to the point that I attempted another repair
installation
<last night, complete with a BIOS upgrade. This has generated new issues.
<
<(1) When I try to install SP2 or any other software -- whether from my own
<admin account (MF) or from the admin account installed by Windows -- I get
<the message 'You do not have permission to update Windows XP. Please
contact
<your administrator.' I've tried the 'run as' option to log on as an admin
<without success. Yet both 'MF' and the generic admin account are listed
as
<'administrators' in the Computer Management tool.
<
<(2) I cannot run any Office applications, although I can see them on the
<hard drive. This had not been a problem with the previous repair
<installation.
<
<(3) Perhaps linked to (2), I can neither run the pre-existing Internet
<connection nor create a new one. In the shortcut's properties, the target
is
<greyed out. In 'new connection' the options to install various types of
<connection (I need PPPOE) are also greyed out. This had not been an issue
<with the previous repair.
<
<Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
