I loaded 8.1 (64 bit) on my machine a couple of weeks ago. All was well until I tried to run Belarc advisor and was informed I didn't have administrative rights to my machine. So I began researching how to gain administrative rights. In a nutshell, every method I tried ended the same way . . . . I was told I could not do what I wanted to do because I didn't have administrative rights. The result is the same when I tried to enable the hidden administrator capability.
My profile was set up during installation and did not include administrative controls, just user stuff. My guts tell me my problem is related to my only profile being that of a simple user.
My question: is there any way to fix the problem and gain administrative control short of a complete reinstall of 8.1?
