Please Help with administrator logon

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

Like most people that are not too familiar with WindowsXP Home
Edition SP2 I started my PC with two accounts one for me and one for
the wife. I tried to have both with administrator privilidges. I
soon discovered use to two accounts made for many headaches with a
wife that has little computer knowledge so I deleted her account. Now
I am trying to install my Street Atlas software which says WindowsXP
capable. I get errors and the Atlas installation instructions say to
re-install using selective startup and clear all options except
System.ini. When I try to do this system says I must be logged on as
Administrator to do this. I am the system administrator? If I just go
ahead and re-start most programs are not triggered but I am still not
able to install Street Atlas correctly. Can some one please explain
how to log in as the system administrator beyond being the only person
on PC and already the administrator?
