If you mean a PC account you need to be the Administrator

When you installed new windows over the old you are getting an administrator privileges, though, just create a password for your current administrator user, and try.\n\nIf not, e-mail me, your problem is Delicious to me.

When you install windows xp service pack 2 (windows xp integrated with sp2), it forces you to choose another account. The administrator account will be visible in the safemode. But the account you are using now is also an admin account.

are you installing it as administrator? if your profile has permission, install it loggin as the person that will be using it and not the computer administrator. this will install it only on the users profile. \nif you do not have permission to intall programs as that user you'll have to change the settings to allow it.\nif you dont have a personal profile, you'll have to create that as well.\nthere is another way to do it... cant remember... i think it has to do with the instalation folder location. \ni'm pretty sure it's an option to select while installing the program as well. something like "install this program for all users" or "this program is for current profile only"\nsorry, it's been a while.

Nope - its doing exactly what it is supposed to do.\n\nLog on as the same username you had before. The problem is that your old my documents is only allowing user "Tom" as you protected your MyDocuments folder. If you log on with "Tommy", this forder does not belong to you. Oh yea, also use the same password as before.\n\nAlternatively, you could log on as administrator in safe mode. tap the F8 key as the computer is turning on and select safe mode at the prompt.

No. The installed update on your computer would automatically apply to your older version and replace it, I think.

If it's the main account, you won't be allowed to delete it. If not, go to start, control panel, user accounts, choose the one you want, and delete it.

You can, but it is alot more difficult in 98 then it is in xp as an administrator.\n\nyou can do it natively through the windows registry. for more information on how to do it., goto the webpage i posted below from Microsoft®. \n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];q179221#kb1\n\nThere are also external software packages that will help do it for you. What it does is basically make it more user friendly, but is doing the same thing at the end of the day.

Hmm. There should be a security question to remind you of your previous password. I would suggest trying all passwords you have used in the past. If that doesn't work, call your computer manufacturer tech support for better advice. You can't be without an administrator account on most computers, so perhaps, if you have more than one account to the Windows program, one of the others is now Administrative. Don't forget your owner's manual, it can help you alot! =)

Typically, if a newer version of software is installed and you want to install an older one, the program will promt you of that fact.  It may not let the install happen.  If not, you can always format your hard drive and install the version you want.  Of course, that woudl erase everything.

On the Windows login prompt... manually delete your name and type 'Administrator' and hit Enter... if no password was set by 'Robert' for Administrator then it will allow you to login. Once your login as 'Admin' then go to user account and create a new one for yourself...\nOtherwise, press F8 and reboot your machine in safe mode and follow the instructions as stated by 'Willy' to your question..\n\nHope this information will help.

This is a dangerious setting, please make sure that what you are going to do is legal in your system.\n\nFirstable, restart your PC;\n\nSecond, After your PC has checked its hardware and before your Operating System is loaded, please press F8 until the system loading mode apear;\n\nPlease check the "Security Mode" or other labs like this. and then entry your OS.\n\nAfter this step you will see more than one Administrator Account on your Screan. one is default account which doesnot have password. \n\nLogin as that super-Administrator then change your administrator's password in Control paniel, or just creat a new administrator account for yourself.\n\nlogout and normally re-login as that changed administrator. And do what you want to do.\n\nGood luck!

If there is Multiple users on this computer, Somebody has to be an administrator. Click start, Then click the picture on top of start menu where your user name is. The user accounts screen should come up. Then when that comes up, Click "Home" at the top. Then click change an account. You will be given the option to either change a user to an administrator, Or limit users accounts, Which will deny them access to downloading, Changing computer settings, Or installing programs. I would check and see if he didnt accidently limit your account, As that what it sounds like.

Quite simple:  She has the Administrator password.  Each of your PCs has a user account set up for the user, and an Administrator account set up for the administrator.  This so the admin can delete accounts and add new ones when somebody gets replaced, etc.\n\nFace it, its NOT YOUR PC!  It belongs to the company, so it makes sense that they want to stay in control of it.

An installation program almost invariably inserts a "key" in to the O/S registry. When the files are deleted the registry key remains and this can royally fuck with your system.\n\nUnistall programs are there for a reason as is the "add/remove programs" entity in the control panel. If the guy doing the uninstalling doesn't realise this(or, even worse, ignores this) then he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a business network.
