Is it possible to be logged into Win XP as administrator but still have only limited ability to do things? I ask because I am unable to do several things that I used to be able to do. I have only one user account on the PC and it is as admin (I believe it has to be when there is only one account anyway) but I am suddenly unable to start or stop services, although I can choose to disable them entirely. I cannot stop or configure system restore as it is greyed out and I am told it is to do with a group policy. I also had to boot into safe mode to install Diskeeper 9.0 because windows would not allow the program to start it's service or any of the others it needed. I have coped for a short while with it been like this, but it is now so bad I cannot even install things like Morrowind, which doesnt have to configure anything.
I am hoping someone can help as I hate been logged in as the one and only admin, yet having no rights to do anything. And just to let you know I am using winXP home and therefore anything like using gpedit.msc is a no go.
Thanks in advance.
