Adminstrator Rights Problems

When I have tried to perform task with different programs (Spybot, Vista
wireless network searches) I get a message that I do not have administrative
rights. I checked my profile and it does say I am an administrator. What is
going on??

Depending on the configuration, some programs behave better, when you run them as an administrator. Just right click on the program icon, and select run as administrator. I know it seems silly that you are an administrator on your system, but sometimes programs need that specification. See if that helps.
