Administrator probs

Hi, i've just loaded a friends home PC with Vista basic home, this done i
then tried to load his Talk Talk broadband from a start up cd.

Each time windows stopped me by saying "you need to log off and log back on
as an administrator!"
This is the only account, therefore the only administrator HELP!!!!

I use XP Pro and can't say i'm that impressed at my first taste of Vista, i
hope one of you more wised up Vista pro's can advise the way
forward......thanks

Re: Administrator probs

Hello,

on this CD, is there a file called "setup.exe" or something which starts the
installation? If so, you will need to right-click it and select "Run as
administrator". This will make the application start with administrative
rights.

Greetings,
P. Di Stolfo
