A few days ago I was able to do Admin things and now it will not let me do anything. Same login, but limited rights. Could I have a virus? I use AVG and Spybot. My son has a new camera and he can't even use it with this computer. Any ideas? I have limited knowledge but can follow directions if any one has any ideas. Thanks!

What happens if you login using the default Administrator account from Safe Mode?
