Ken, Vista maintains control even if you have administrator privileges unless you tell it not to. Go to control panel, user accounts. Under your user, click on "Turn user account control on or off". Turn user control off. You will have to restart, then you will have control of your environment. Vista well moan and groan about you taking control, but no harm will be done. If you not comfortable without with Vista not analyzing every key stroke you make, you can turn the control back on.
Good Luck
Richard
