Security priveleges in XP won't allow me to install printer.

[James Carr]

I try to install a new printer and I immediately get the
following error. How do I fix this...the problem started
when our local ISP tried to install a VPN so that we
could reach the office from home...they had no clue what
they were doing so we cancelled that idea...but now...

This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator.
