Set my self as Administrator with installing privileges

[Guest]

Requesting your help with my two problems
I am emailing requesting help with my problems. How to set my self as the
administrator with installing privileges on my stand-alone PC.

Problem 1: Setting Up Administrative Privileges on My Computer
Email me at: (e-mail address removed)
I can't install programs on my computer and I am using Microsoft Windows XP
Professional XP SP2. Each time I install software on my computer it does not
install. I receive a message. Macromedia Contribute 3.11 Installer
Information. 1: "Failed to Install ISKernel Files". "Make sure you have
appropriate privileges on this machine OK". The wizard was interrupted before
Macromedia Contribute 3 could be completely installed. Your system has not
been modified. For example I have tried installing Macromedia Contribute 3.11
and Macromedia FlashPaper 2 and the installation is failing. Please email me
the procedures/steps I should do on my Windows XP Professional SP2 so that I
am the administrator and acquire administrative privileges so that I am able
to create an installation that will always install software each time I start
installing software on my Computer. Its only one computer no network is
involved. I need to know the steps I should take on my Computer to Acquire
Administrative Privileges so that I can install certain programs on my
computer. I do not have administrative privileges on my computer on which I
want to install new software. I always find that the installation procedure
simply fails. Please how should set the administrative privilege on my PC so
that I can I install software? Software is not installing on my computer.

Problem 2: Start Button and All Icons on My Monitor have reversed possibly
after pressing Ctrl, Alt or other keys by mistake.
Start Button has reversed and appear on the right hand side of my monitor
instead of appearing on the left hand side and all icons appear horizontally
to the left of the reversed Start Button. When I start my computer I notice
that Start Button has reversed and appear on the right hand side of my
monitor, instead of appearing on the left hand side and all icons are
appearing horizontally to the left side of the reversed Start Button. I would
like to restore the altered Start Button and icons to their original
position. Which appropriate methods should I use to do this?
Start Button (All Programs) on my Monitor has been reversed to the right
hand side and the Icons on the monitor are now arranged horizontally to the
left of Start. I want Start to be reversed to the original position the left
hand side and the Icons should appear vertically above the Start.
Please help me with the solutions to help solve my problem
Start and All Icons on My Monitor have reversed. I want to restore them to
their previous state. Please help me to do this.

I am facing untold difficulties I have to turn my monitor the other way
round so that Start can appear at the left hand side and begin using the
monitor when I have logged on. Please I want Start and all the Icons on my
Monitor to return to their original state on the left hand side. Please help
me achieve

John,
For your first problem, click Start>Settings>Control Panel>User Accounts.
When the screen pops up, click on the link that says "Change the way users
log on or off". Then make sure the box that says "...Welcome Screen..." is
unchecked.

After that is done, log off, and then log back in by typing "administrator"
and press Enter (or click "OK"). There shouldn't be a password on that
account for now, so it should let you in to install whatever programs you
need. If somebody has put a password on the administrator account, you won't
be able to log in without the password.

One note here: It's a VERY GOOD idea to stay away from using the Admin
account for anything other that doing maintenance, system restore, or
installing programs. You should us the lower-priviledged user account most of
the time, just in case a virus gets onto your computer. A lot of virusus
require Admin priviledges to execute. Using the "User" account instead of the
admin will protect you.

When you are done installing your program(s), just repeat the first
paragraph, but uncheck the "...Welcome Screen..." box. and logout and login
again into the user account.

As far as your second problem, I have no idea what happened. Try this:
Right-click on a empty area of your toolbar to make sure there is no
checkmark next to "Lock the Toolbar". If a checkmark happens to be there,
just click on "Unlock the Toolbar".

When that is done, click and hold the mouse button down and drag the toolbar
back to where it should be. If that doesn't work, maybe some else cn help you
with that problem.

Good Luck.
