Sometimes I get a message saying that i'm not an Admin, like this one I got earlier:


But as you can clearly see, I am an Administrator:


Any idea why this might happen?

Try logging on as the default Administrator account in Safe Mode.

basicly that will cut off even more access.

Does this happen on any other admin accounts?

I only said Safe Mode cause that's the only way to log onto the default Admin account isn't it?

Actually no your wrong. Within Safe Mode there is a hidden Administrator account. This account has full privilliges to the system therefore it doesn't limit any access.

When you go to Control Panel > User Accounts > How many users does it show and under yuor name does it say Computer Administrator?

When you are in Safe Mode and logged into the Administrator Account goto User Accounts and click on your name Click on Change Account Type and make sure it is set to Computer Administrator.

This is what I get on my account (Chris)


And this on Administrator (Safe Mode)


nothing unusual there...

Are you using Vista or a skin? If you are using Vista it might be a bug in the OS.

I'm using Windows XP Home Edition, SP2, with Vista Skin.
