There is the actual Administrator which is usually only accessible when
booting in safe mode, then there is obviously you as administrator. The
first one isn't usually counted so you must have another user account. Go
to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts click on "Change account type" for the
other user and make it limited.
I wouldn't worry too much about MBSA's warning. it's just that.

How about this? -
Hi. I have two computers - a desktop and a laptop.
Recently i loaded Adobe CS
to both machines. All of the programs worked well on the
desktop, but on the
laptop one of the programs (InDesign) wasn't loading. I
spent a couple of
hours on the phone with Adobe only to discover that what
was happening was
that InDesign was loading onto a different User Account
than my main one.
When starting the laptop in Safe Mode, I saw where two
Administrator accounts
appeared - prompting me to choose one. One was for me (my
name) but another
said "Administrator". Curious, i clicked on Administrator
found that if i
opened InDesign via this user account, IT WORKED. Only
this isn't my main
user account. I researched to find out how to delete this
unused user account
(that only contains 1mb of data vs. 250 mb on my main
user account) - and
re-entered Safe Mode via my MAIN user account (which is
also an adminstrator
account) and deleted the other "adminstrator" account.
I reloaded the program (not the entire suite) and tried
to start the program
again -but again, it didn't load. All of the other 5
programs in Creative
Suite work fine - only InDesign doesn't. So i went back
into Safe Mode, but
saw once again that that old Administrator User Account
was there again. And
sure enough, InDesign ran on that User Account.

I thought i deleted this account - i need the program to
run in my regular
User Account, which is where i work from. Plus, when i go
into Control
Panel/User Accounts - the mysterious Administrator User
Account doesn't even
appear. Only when i go into safe mode can i see it.
Evidently InDesign is
defaulting to, or creating, this mystery user account.
Any help would be way
appreciated.
