I tried to install Norton Ghost to my HD but received the following dialog box --- "The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation".
I am tne administrator for this computer.
How do I reset the policy settings? I've scoured Google and KB search without success. I have reskit installed on my HD.  Can anyone offer asuggestion. Thank you.

Hi,keithy 397
Sorry, I made a mistake. i'm not the administrator of this Win98 computer. I was thinking about a previous WinXP I owned.
How do I find and change the Administrators data. After paying for the Ghost program  I can't install it. Very frustrating.

I tried to install Ghost via safe mode, however in safe mode the CD-Rom drive is not available so I have no way to use the installation disk.
