    hey u need to create a nother account instead of changing the administrator to limited. Windows needs an administrator account so dnt try missin wt that. Jst create a new user under power user rights or higher that should allow u to download and install/uninstall programs.

    Hi. I'm assuming this is a Windows 2000 or XP system. I believe you need at least one administrative account. Click on start menu and select control panel. Scroll down and select 'Users'. You should see your account listed along with options for changing the account type. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowsxp/home/using/howto/gettingstarted/sharing/accountpic.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ua_c_account_types.mspx?mfr=true Let me know if you experience problems. http://360.yahoo.com/leon.spencer Cheers, Leon S
