Adminstrator problem

I am the only user account on this computer. I am listed as Administrator.
When I try to update the Office programs, it gets to a screen that indicates
you can only use it if one is an Administrator.
Everybody suggest to right-click and select Run as Administrator but none of
these screens give you that choice.
I haven't updated Office since I installed it in February 2008.
Why is it that Microsoft Update process do not recognize me as an
Administrator?

You should either be able to right click the executable for office and
select Run as Administrator. This should then give you the rights. If
this doesn't work then try performing the following:
1. Press Start
2. type in msconfig in the search box and press enter
3. Go to the tools tab
4. Scroll down to disable UAC
5. Press Launch
6. A command prompt windows should open saying that it has completed
successfully
7. Reboot the computer
8. Try the installation again
