What the hells going on? I'm the only user and I am the administrator!
Any ideas.
Luckily I've kept XP as well..
Don't put Linux on your system, it's good (very) but was built as and remains a techy system (built by and for techies) and only truly usable by them to this day. If you want to play with Linux get a spare system and install on that or install VMWare Player and run a virtual copy ... you may end up liking it more than XP or Vista (then install it properly).
As for your problem ... use "Run As". To do this right click whatever it is you want to run, select "Run As", enter the user and pw and it should install OK.
I'm no Vista fan either, used it for a couple of months then went back to XP Pro but be aware that if you have a quad core chip XP will only use 2 cores so you'll effectively be muzzling your system.
