O.P. Not an Admin?
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?

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.

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