My laptop acts like Im not the admistrator of my computer. It says I am the administrator in the users/profiles section in control panel. But I can't install software now, or change system time, or change folder options, create other accounts, or really anything an administrator should be able to do. Also I just recovered the computer from a virus and it is working great now, the virsus is gone, but I think that it must have changed registry stuff to make it thinki I'm not the administrator. Any suggestions?

If you did not assign an admin password, try this:
At logon, for user type administrator, no password, and enter. That should let you login as the admin. You can then change the user profile, add a password if you wish, delete your other non-admin profile.
Unless they have removed this capability from the newer systems, this should work.

In your registry (start-run-regedit) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole\SecurityLevel
set the security level to 1 once thats done you can go into recovery console without needing an admin. password and fix whatever is broke
