I am aware that I'm new to this forum and if there is already a similar topic or posted in the wrong forum, etc., my apologizes.
You see I'm having an extremely difficult and awkward problem with WINDOWS XP. I have no computer administator. Yes, that's right. I don't have one. I don't know how to fix the problem. (XP is a nightmare, I would never recommend it) Originally, there are 2 accounts on my computer, my own, and my parents. I had a limited and they had the administrative. I'm part of a few other boards and so on, and I tend to download a lot of software but a limited account does not enable me to install. I had gotten in the habit you could say of logging in my parent's account, making myself an administrator, doing whatever it was that I needed done and then switching back. Only this time today while I was switching back it didn't exactly turn out right. It is "suppose" to be impossible for a computer admin to make themselves "limited" but when I logged back in to double check, both my account and my parents' account are Limited User Accounts. Therefore, I have NO COMPUTER ADMINISTRATOR!
No considering the circumstances in which I usually do all the switching in secret, it would be very lovely if someone would take the time to please help me solve my problem.
I'd greatly appreciate it, Thank you.
