Hello All:

I have just performed a "System Restore" on my HP-PC. I am running XP with SP2.

I was attempting to remove some unwanted processes on startup via MSCONFIG. When I selected those processes I did not want during the boot sequence, I received a message that "You must have ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS and the changes were NOT APPLIED.

Problem is I am listed as the Owner/Admin.....

I tried to "reset" my password which failed and delete and restore the account in SAFE MODE. But this STILL does not work.

Can someone please provide some guidance on how I can rectify this situation.

Many Thanks!
