| Unable install programs with administrator rights Hi, I recently purchased a new hard drive and installed Windows XP SP3. I created 2 user accounts both with administrator access. However, when I try to install any programs, it gives me the following error: "An error occured while attempting to create the directory C:\Documents and Settings\.....\Application Data\xxxxx" (.... being the User folder name and xxxxx being the applications folder) Please help! Thanks! -- Shreyank  |
