New Dell computer on my office network. User (me) has admin privleges, but
they will not apply. I can logon as the adminstrator and everythings works.
When I logon as user (even thought I have admin privleges) I cannot load or
update. I had this problem on my home network a year ago and somehow repaired
it. Help.

Is the office network on a domain?

Yes, the office domain is SKOFDOM and I am listed as being on SKOFNEW. Is
this the issue?

Thanks

It's a little hard to tell from your post, but has your user account
been joined to the domain? If the domain name is SKOFDOM, then why
would you see a domain called SKOFNEW? It sounds like your user account
isn't on the right domain. I think you need to take the machine to your
IT Dept.

It appears that the stricter domain privileges overtake the loosely-secured
settings on the local Machine. You may need to have your user account added
to the "Domain Administrators" global group
