But that's not the POINT! (And went there hoping to find
a clue and getting the "site could not be found" message
is Even more frustrating!!!)
She, like I and others, have PC's we built with legal
copies of XP installed that won't allow software up
grades... Or OS upgrades ie:XP SP1 Updates...Real1
updates, AIPTEK Updates...etc... And beuse it says we are
not the Admin of the system...?!???!?!?
I mean people the install of XP is seamless!!!!
I have been asking (Hell pleading!!!) for a resolve from
Microsoft, and other areanas, microsoft realted, for 8
months and get the same thing... "Well we understand you
are having a problem, but to clarify your ISSUE please
SEND US MONEY!!! I too, can not upgrade my PAID-FOR-XP-OS
because no matter what I do "Right mouse click"... "Run
as"...BLA BLA DAMN BLA!!!! I CAN'T UPGRADE my system, or
any other software application I installed!! EVERY
UPGRADE TELLS ME I AM NOT THE ADMINISTATOR!!!!! EVERY
DAMN ONE!!!
I know I'm ranting here but I'm not an idiot.. I'm in
this business! And those that I have contacted dealing
with this "Not the Administrator" crap (Im talking
Microsoft pros too) don't have an answer...

She needs to know how to get this to STOP... As well as a
few more of us out there...

ANY ONE KNOW why this is happening!??!!?? With out having
to give the biggest MONEY SUCKING LEECHES IN THIS
INDUSTRY ANYMORE OF OUR MONEY!!????!

And another thing ... HOW does one get a Virus from a
system that has never seen anything but the OS
installation CD... Not even a floppy???? Answer that!!!
Clean system... A brand new System!!! !!! Never been
netwroked!!!??? I fixed that problem!! But Hey!!!! How
could that happen!?!!??! I thought those IBM-Warp tactics
were over with!!!
