I forgot to mention it appears that I have two administrator accounts. If I
go to Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer Management\
Groups\Administrators and double click I show two accountss - Administrator
and Ron Patterson

Likewise, if I go to Control Panel\User Accounts -I show 4 Icons:
Ron Patterson - Computer administrator
Administrator - Computer administrator
Guest account - Guest account is off
ASP.NET Machine:
Limited Account
Password protected

Ergo - I should have administator priviledges in two accounts but actually
have no priviledges in either

Ron Patterson

When I log on as administrator I apparently do not have administrator
priviledges
I downloaded a Quicken Update today with no problem but when I tried to
install it as user and was told I needed administrator
priviledges - when I logged off and on as administrator and tried to
install it I got the same message - that I needed administrator
priviledges.

I tried to reinstall an original version of Quicken from a saved
installation file and received a similar message. That I did not have
priviledges.

Same thing - logged on as Administrator I tried to install Acronis True
Image from a save installation file and received a message saying I needed
administrator priviledges to install it.

What can I do so that the computer recognizes me as the administrator with
full priviledges?
