    sounds like the OP is just stuck in a USER account

    op switch on the pc
    at the welcome screen press crtl ald and del twice

    type in username... administrator
    leave password blank and press OK


    this should log you into the administrator account (if not you need to reset the password, post back for more info)

    goto start
    run
    type in control userpasswords2
    double click on your normal account
    click group membership tab
    click administrators and ok

    reboot the pc
    and log into your normal account which will now have admin rights
