Re: Vista Admin Privileges appear to be load

You might try loggin on as administrator and in Control Panel - Users Accounts and "Manage Another Account", see if your account is an "Administrator". If not change it. Another solution could be: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx which resets permissions to original Vista setup.

Brilliant. Thanks very much for this, I have been struggling for weeks. MS
Support could provide no answers.

If I log on as the Administrator then I can install the downloaded updates.

I would very much like to get the admin rights back on my own account - is
this possible?

What happens if you use this account? It always has full admin rights.

If nothing else, you can use it to delete your other user/admin account.
