Small crash, administrator permissions problem

[Doug Sanders]

Hi;

I suffered a crash, used ERD to restart WIN 2k and fixed a bunch of little
things, but..

When I try to reinstall MS office, it tells me that the administrator has
set permissions to not allow this operation.

I am logged in as administrator, but can't find where the change this
permission.

I need some basic help & guidence.

Thanks,

Doug Sanders

The window title is 'Windows Installer"

The message is -

'The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.'

Thank for your interest.
