Anytime I try to install a program on my computer it gives me the message "You do not have Administrator access to the windows registry. Please see your system administrator" I'm the only user on the computer and when checking my account it says I'm an administrator. Help!

Deran, sounds to me like you're an admin., but your machine isn't 'in the know'. Think I'd make a new identity and grant it administrative priveledges and if that seemed to work as advertised, get rid of the old identity. That should allow your machine to update. Ed in Texas.
