"Access Denied" Driving me nuts

Hello,

I can not do two things:

1. Install SP1 for XP-Pro
2. Install a print driver - HP All-in-One

With problem 1, I get an access is denied dialog box after
the down load has completed. It will go all the way
through the install and the very last step, it fails
with "Access Denied" and deletes the install to where I
began. I have logged on as an administrator and my local
ID and I have the appropriate security that is needed to
do an install of this type. I also have a fully licensed
copy of XP-Pro (no boot leg here). Another tid bit of
info here, I have logged on as an Admin in safe mode and
tried to install it from the desktop. Still no
luck, "Access Denied".

With Problem 2, I also get an access denied dialog box. It
tells me that the install can not continue
because, "Access Denied". No other info is available.
However, when I tried to install the print driver as an
Administrator, the print driver software did a system scan
and it came back with a dialog box that says, The
necessary Privileges do not meet the install minimum
requirements". However, if I log on as me (local Admin), I
do not get that dialog scan results box. But after all of
the steps of the install completes, I get a small dialog
box that says, "Access Denied" and it reverts back the
changes made to the system...

I am very perplexed and frustrated here... Is there anyone
out there that can help me?
