Re: I am administrator but Vista will not allow me to install updates

Hi nhykoro
I'm new to vista also and I've been reading the replies you've been getting.
The people replying to you also reply to many others and it appears they
know what they're talking about. However one piece of advice I seldom see
and new users should be aware of is when you take home your new machine make
sure you got the backup disks and then reformat and install it. I know it's
a pain in the backside but necessary, especially if your machine was on Demo
in the store. Some retailers with demo machines on display sometimes like to
install their own little programs and utilities and accounts (passwords) to
entice you further to buy the product. God knows what else they might
install.
The above may not help but is worth considering.
