    a .msi file won't install due to admin settings even though I'm the admin


    I'm trying to install a .msi file, but the admin settings block it. I'm the admin, but I can't figure out what settings I need to change to allow the file to install. What settings to I need to change?

    :)

    a .msi file won't install due to admin settings even though I'm the admin

    admin rights keep disappearing!?!!

    Hi guys,

    I am actually having a problem at work that our IT department hasn't been able to figure out. I am supposed to be a member of the admin group. We are on a domain. The problem is that everytime I reboot the computer I loose my admin rights(no longer in the administrator group) and just become a normal user again. I have tried googling this and didn't get to many results.
    I believe IT is just giving me local admin rights, not admin rights for the whole domain.

    Any suggestions?

    EDIT: It is on Windows XP Pro.
