I have only one account on my laptop. It is set as an administrator. However, sometimes when I try to download a program from the web or delete a program from my computer it will still tell me that "I must be logged on as an administrator to complete this action". Any ideas? I am already an administrator, I checked by looking at my account details. I have Vista and the computer is a Gateway that was bought this calender year if that info helps. Thanks!
