Guess that when you installed Windows XP you created an additional user... Get into safe mode, choose 'Administrator' and open 'Computer Manager' Select the Groups tab and add the user you created. Restart the computer and try install the software once again.<br />
<br />
Another method of installing software is by using 'runas /u:administrator &lt;program installation name&gt;' &nbsp;via the command line. This will allow you to run the uinstallation software with admin rights.<br />
<br />
Note:<br />
These steps will work on local computer installed by you and not otherwise...<br />
