Some software installers search for "Administrator" as username, if your username is not "Administrator" and you have administrator privilages, these software installers will give you this error. To avoid this, make sure you login with username "Administrator".
Another way to resolve this admin issue is to go to Add/Remove Progs and check the box that says "Show Updates" and then locate
Security Updates for Windows XP (KB927891) and remove it. This will
solve that adim issue. You may need to Restart, but most likely not.
This is coming from a call centre software support Tech. All ways here to help. Good luck and hope this helps many of you. {Anthony - mv4wrd}
