It's been a long time since I went there, and
I've forgotten how to change from mu current user/owner status, to log on as Administrator. I have a driver update that requires me to log on as Administrator. Help please, and thank you.

Can't win 'em all. True. Still quicker than upgrading to XP Pro. ;-) Then again, you should create a new account with Administrative privileges. Although you do not need to use this account on a daily basis, it will be there for you when you need to log on with these privileges. And you would be able to do so in Normal Mode.

I'll take that advice, some time, Daave, but right now I have enough alligators sniping at my butt and have to fend them off first.

Somewhat later......I set up the spare Admin account just to see that I could do it. Using it is a mess because it's like raw uncooked food that needs a lot of processing before it can be eaton. But thanks.
