Administrator signin

I am signed in as "administrator" for my personal computer. I occasionally
receive a warning message that I am not signed in as administrator and that
the installer requires an administrator. The message tells me to sign off
and sign on again as administrator. I'm confused. Can anyone explain
what's going on? I cancel the message or click "ok" and it goes away and
nothing else seems to happen but the message will come back at another time.

Re: Administrator signin

What are you doing that triggers that message?
Do you know which program it is trying to install?

Re: Administrator signin

More info is needed to answer or direct you to a proper newsgroup.
For starters...
When does the message appear(startup, opening Windows Live Mail, etc)
O/S ?
Email Client ?
