| Please help. I am in school and I have been trying to
| install an academic CD. My pc (or XP) will not let me. I
| keep getting the message
| Not Adim
| This installation requires you to be logged on as
| somebody with administrative rights.
| I have two pc's and am networked (at home). I created
| another admin. account and it still wont let me. I know
| little about XP to check any further.
| Thx in advance.
