Carole Ann

Hi, I am a complete novice to using vista, computer administration and
setting up accounts. I purchased my laptop earlier in the year and vaguely
remember something about administrator when I turned it on. When I look at
accounts I see there is one called admin and one called Carole. However,
when I try and do things in either of these accounts it says I don't have
permissions. Have I completely messed up the system or can I redeem the
situation? If anyone can help can you make the answer as basic as possible
so that I can follow it and implement what you tell me to do. Any help will
be gratefully received.
