Seems there are 3 of us having the same problem. I like
you for some unknown reason have recently been unable to
install software, I receive the message 'do not have
sufficient priviliges to access <folder>". I am also
running WinXP pro and I am the admin. I tried to take
ownership of drive C: which I assumed I would/should have
anyway and that didn't help. You can see how to do that
here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;308421

I would also greatly appreciate any other suggestions.
