Installation problem

[HDoc]

How do I go about making it an administrator account? I
thought by definition that the single account on XP had
to be an administrator account.

Hi hdoc,

According to Broderbund's specifications, that is an XP
compatible game. Since you have only one user account
which you're using to install it, try making it an
administrator
account during the installation of the game. This should
overcome any user limitations preventing your from
installing
Liberty Kids, and you can change it back right afterwards.

Hi Hdoc,

You can change an account type from Limited User to
Administrator or back in Control Panel / User Accounts.
Click the "Change an Account" task to begin the process
OR you can chose to make a new admin account instead.
