I bought a new emachine computer and its a desktop home pc, When I load the disc into it to install the printer which is a HP 1300 it goes thru all the normal steps for loading it until it says that the administrator has to approve it to be installed,, My question is how do I sign onto my own computer as an administrator so I can instal this printer?

Go to My Computer -> Control Panel -> User Accounts
Select your name and make yourself an administrator, or log off and log back in again as the administrator.
IM me with more questions, but this should be all you need.
Good Luck!

Go to Start, Turn off computer, but then choose "log out".
When you get the sign on screen, use "admin" or "administrator" and leave the password field blank.
That is the standard log in for the administrator account.
If someone has changed it, and you don't know it, you essentially need to reinstall WinXP (unless you resort to more nefarious methods)

Plug your printer in and turn it on. Then go to hp.com. When your there find the drivers page. Now when you get to this page you will see an auto detect feature. It will read your printer and give you the latest driver for your printer. Just double click the driver it gives you. Good Luck!
