I went to use my pc today and i couldnt download anything,or remove any programs in the control panel.When i did try to download or remove, it stated that (access is denied)or you dont have administration rights.The funny thing is,is that im the administrator of my computer.I couldnt even change the administrator password because once again it would deny me access.PLEASE HELP!!!

Welcome stevlo biggrin.gif

Your rights must have changed, strange. Boot your computer to safe mode, and you should be able to log in as "Administrator". Then you'll have access to the user settings in the control panel to reset your personal settings.

I'd also do a virus/trojan scan as you may have someone gaining access to your computer. angry.gif
