    When I attempt to install Yahoo Messenger, I get an error
    that says i do not have access to make system
    configuration changes...Please load software from an
    administrator account. Well, my account IS the
    administrator account, and I've even tried setting up a
    new administrator account. Any suggestions? I am using
    Windows XP.
