I am trying to install the SIMS a computer game. When I
try to run the program, it tells me I must login as an
administrator. However, I am the administrator of my
computer. It only has one account. Even when I do the run
as as the administrator account, it gives me the same
message. I have run into this problem before, but someone
working for microsoft helped me out because it was giving
me problems with accessing windows update (thus I did not
have to pay). Is there a way to fix this mix up from my
computer, and how do I prevent it from happening again?

thanks
