I had Windows ME and decided to upgrade to Windows XP professional. I have a stand alone computer. I check XP out on my system and it was compatible. I know now one of my biggest mistakes was that I installed components before I installed XP. (I shouldn’t have downloaded the network stuff). After I did that I downloaded the XP and it froze up at set up. I went back in and it would not allow me to reinstall XP because I am not the administrator I tried about everything to get myself control of the administrator so I could finish installing XP, But I was denied access . Now I cannot even start from scratch and put the ME program back in because I am lock out of that area. I am not the administrator. Is there anything I can do to get around this? I checked out the access denied solution to debug users, but no success in there either. My other mistake is that I thought I could do this on my own, but I guess my skills are not good enough to get out of this mess I have made for myself
