Permissions problem

by cemetery mike . Updated 21 years, 3 months ago

My entire system was recently redone from scratch, and has left me with some problems I can’t seem to resolve: I am both the administrator and the only user of my computer. There are two options for me when logging on, as either admin and user. When logged on as user, I am unable to download files, install fonts, copy files ? nothing in the way of any sort of change whatsoever. I can?t even update my Norton Anti-Virus in this setting (it is locked). What it is, is what it is. As admin, however, these functions are all possible. Complicating things, though, is the fact that I need to be logged in in the user account in order to access our network, as well as all my company email (which, when on the admin account, only accesses mail since the time of my reconfiguration). To complicate things further, it looks as though I am now getting different email in each account, meaning, certain email comes in when logged in as admin, certain email comes in when logged in as user – despite the fact that I have the same two accounts at both settings. What do I need to do in order to have all access/privileges available to me in my user account? Any and all help much appreciated.
