Administrator Account

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I have used my own name as Administrator and deleted the original
administrator account in my Xp. Now my bluetooth software refused to be
installed and kept saying I do not have administrator privilages. Is
there any way to revive the original one ?

enter as administrator.

I can still log on to the Administrator account, though. By logging out
to the welcome screen and pressing Ctl+Alt+Del several times, then type
in the account name as Administrator. But I still cannot install new
programs.

I'm confused. Are you saying there is only one administrator acct on
your computer and it's hidden? Can you add yourself (use your own
name) and give yourself administrator status?

That is what he did. He created an administrator account. then in the
user & accounts page he deleted the account that says administrator.

Question : Which version of XP???
Question : When you login as administrator does it allow you to work
with that profile properly.
Question : run SFC /SCANNOW it will check for any damaged registries
that may have gotten corrupted.
Question: do you have system restore turned on or off??
