I am trying to install the newest version of Macromedia Shockwave (10). I
currently have version 8 installed. Every time I try to install version 10,
it tells me that I do not have administrative privileges, even though I do!
I can't get past this.

Can I find out what it is?

Help, please.

entries in the MSconfig Startup tab
So can you help me with a few questions:

I recently added a new administrative account, and deleted the old one...  
But Windows still tries to automatically log on with the old account.
