Default Administrator has no priviledges

YW. Hope it's all gone.

Thanks to all the help. I ran a Windows malware scan and found the
same Trojan in 4 locations. From a bit of research, it did not sound
like this could be causing the problem, but after cleaning the
infection, things "SEEM" to be working okay.

Again,
Thanks to both respondents,
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?


It seems like you've had this issue for a while (if memory serves).

What is the malware status of your PC?
