If that doesn't describe your situation, and this is a used PC, you should do a clean install of XP, rather than using whatever came with it.

By default, new user accounts you create in XP are administrators. > how can I change an administrator profil? > I've bought a pc and I can't install some disk and other becaue I > am not the administrator What is the exact operating system?
