I am trying to install AA6 on win xp (SP2, all up to date...). There is one
user acct, as admin (as per user mngr) with guest disabled.

When installing, about 1/2 way through err pops up:
Err 1303 installer has insufficient privileges to access directory
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF 6. Cant continue
contact admin...etc. I see that I also can't access that documents
directory, or its subs, from explorer. Also a privilieges error.

How can I be the one and only admin account buit still be unable to install
or access that directory? I am tempted to reinstall os, but that's always
such a hassle...Any help greatly appreciated ;-) Sorry if posting to a few
groups in not usual, i am a newsgroup noob.

There is a General tab and a Sharing tab, but no Security tab. This is like
I'm not an admin account, but according to user manager, i'm the only
account and admin.
