"The Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"

As the title says, that is the message that I get every single time
try to uninstall pretty much anything. I am running Vista Premium whic
came with the laptop I was bought for christmas a few years ago. I a
the only user on the computer and that means I am the administrator an
I did no such thing. Can anyone suggest anything to help? Such a
altering the policies or whatever.
Help!
Davstrife
P.S Thanks

Not neccesarily at all! You need to do Control panel-User Accounts and check
that your user IS an administrator.
