Hi im trying to install msn messenger on a guest account, it allows me to
download it but as soon as i try to install it, it says i dont have
permission, im just wondering how do i get permission for it, as im the
admin on my pc, and this is for my gf when she comes round so she can have
her own account on my pc, any help would be appreciated

If by "guest account" you mean that you enabled Guest in Control Panel>User
Accounts, please go back there and disable it. Guest is a system account
and you'll continually have issues using it. Instead, create a regular user
account and call it "Visitor" or the like - if creating an account in your
GF's actual name shows too much commitment. ;-)
