Problem installing 3rd party software on XP home edition

Whenever I download and install a software, it gives me an error message.

that I am not the administrator or don't have the rights. that I need to log
in as admin. I am on my own laptop and logged in as admin. I did check the
user account in control panel to make sure that I am the administrator. I
have tried to download different software from different websites with the
same result.

I contacted my manufacturer (OEM- fujitsu) and they couldn't solve it. I
tried microsoft and they are asking for $35 to fix it. I think this could be
a problem with the registry or something else.

this may help - I have tried to download an mp3 from audible.com and access
it from itunes and it didn't let me do it. I had to contact the customer
service and she did a remote log in to my computer and gave access to all the
user accounts to be able to use and access the download using 'regedit'.

any help is appreciated.

Have you tried creating a new account with admin privileges and seeing if
you can install software from that account?
