Ok I have Windows Vista and I am using the default administrative user account but 4 sum reason I can’t uninstall a certain program called StreamPlug Player. It says I don’t have sufficient rights or privileges to uninstall it. It says to contact the administrator but I am the administrator. How do I uninstall the program? And make the computer stop asking me to contact the administrator?

By default, the “True” administrator account in vista is disabled. To enable it do the following.
Use the Local Users and Groups MMC console (Right click computer and select manage.) Open the MMC console and select Local Users and Groups.
Right-click the Administrator account and select Properties.
The Administrator Properties window appears.
On the General tab, clear the Account is Disabled check box.
Close the MMC console.
Administrator access is now enabled.
Another way to do it is…
First you’ll need to open a command prompt in administrator mode by right-clicking and choosing “Run as administrator”
Now type the following command: net user administrator /active:yes
Log out and you should see an “Administrator” account available.
Un-doing the tweak requires running nearly the same command, but with /active:no at the end.
It’s a good practice to disable this account again once you are done.
