System privileges

I'm new to WinXP.

Received a code to unlock a program, when I did a message appeared - *You must have system administration privileges for your registration code to be activated by this computer*.

Don't exactly know what that means.

 

Hi Trident
Go to start...settings...control panel...user accounts...and make sure you are set up with administrative priviledges.

 

Thanks, Daizy, that was quick! I'll try and see what happens.

 

Created user account and password - should I receive some sort of confirmation? Whatever the reason, it did not unlock the program when I entered the reg. code.

 

No, the account you are in, should have the administrative permissions.

Try going to add/remove in control panel, and installing your software from there.
