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...
