I get an error about logging in as administartor before I
can downlaod and install XP SP1....I'M the
administrator!!!! I'm the only "user" on the computer! No
other users are setup on the computer!
Anybody have a clue as to why I can't install things like
the Service pack???
I didn't even install a password for crying out loud.
I'm about to give up on XP and go back to crappy 98SE.
At least I didn't have problems installing things.
