To my knowledge any administrative account looses privileges when a spyware
Trojan in the system has stripped your privileges. You may need to install
antispyware programs to get rid of a possible spyware that is causing the
problem. Adaware SE Personal Edition, Spybot Search & Destroy,
SpywareBlaster and CWShredder are the most recommended antispyware programs.
Install them all; in case one of the programs misses the bug another will
detect it.
