soemthing on your machine has changed the priviledges on your computer so that you can't make any changes. the only way you can get them back is to sign on with administrator priviledges and change them back. that means you have to know the password for Administrator or have another logon that has Administrator priviledges. if you don't have such an id or don't know the password for Administrator, you will have to take the computer to a place that knows how to crack the password. to see the list of IDs on your system, go to Settings|Users and Passwords.

This message came up when I tried to open Options under the tools menu of Explorer. My computer is not part of a network, but is cable connected. I run anti virus and internet security software and nothing illegal seemed to have happened. I went to Microsoft support and found a report on this but nothing to tell me how to get rid of it. Can anyone help?
