Go to start, run. Type:

control userpasswords2

Find your user and verify that it is in the "administrators" group. If it isn't, select it, then click "properties". Go to the "group policy" tab and put it in other>administrators.

Contact me via IM if that doesn't work. I have a vista installation I can use if necessary.
