windows won't let me install programs

[shadow_moon]

i'm running windows 2k pro and up until earlier today i was able to install programs.
now when i try to do so a window pops up saying that "you haven't got sufficient privelidges to install this program" and i didn't make any such policy (i happen to be the sole owner of the computer) and i have my admin. controlls wide open as far as installing programs is conserned.

any info on how to resolve this little s.n.a.f.u. would be really appreciatd

thank ppl

That's not a solution, don't do that.

What has changed since you were able to install software?

Is it just one program or all programs?
