Einde, I'm not much of a Microsoft fan, but perhaps you can find a solution to your problem from the following advisory : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/236427 . In any event, it is definitely not the case that in Windows OS, like Vista, on has to call one's admin account »Administrator«, so the problem lies elsewhere. I suggest you give the above MS advisory a whirl - good luck !... Henri
