I have administrator privledges but cannot install programs

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

I am a computer administrator, but when I try to install programs, such as an
AIM upgrade or a game download, it says I cannot do it, ans should log in to
the computer with administrator privledges. I have no idea what is going on.
