Reply: (edit)It sounds like you have the built-in "Administrator" account, and another account on the machine. You might check to see where your download is stored, and put it in a different folder before you try unzipping it. Also, make sure the account you log in with has administrative level priveleges. Maybe start a new post with the results if that doesn't help...
