Hope this isn't "the" Administrator account, John. If it is one you
created, there may be some corruption in the account. You can look in
Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Event Viewer and clip the Application
listing in the left pane, then look for error messages in the right pane.
Those can be right-click/properties to view the error and see what's causing
the problem.

Have you checked your system with your anti-virus lately?
