When is an Admin not an Admin? (trying again for help)

Sorry for posting this again, but there have been no replies and this one is
urgent.

I set up Windows XP recently on 2 PCs. On one everything is fine. However,
on the other I have 2 current problems: I cannot install the Java Virtual
Machine, and the Advanced tab on network properties (that allows Firewall to
be set) is not visible. Looking into it, I found that I don't have admin
rights-- even when I log on as Admin! I have never encountered this before.

An exhaustive search of the MS Knowledge Base and Google has turned up
nothing. Can anyone help on this?

Many thanks,

Randall Arnold
