Make sure that your domain user account is still in the local administrators group on
your computer. Running "net user username" will display the local group membership of
your account or use "net localgroup administrators" to see who is in that group if
you are a member by group membership such as "domain users". If that is the case your
domain admin will need to check that your account is still in the proper domain
global group. If the application is a .msi package, the problem could be that it is
supposed to be assigned or published for your user account/computer and that there is
a problem with Group Policy configuration/application in the domain for which
administrator tools such as netdiag and gpresult can help troubleshoot. --- Steve
