windows vista, I should have 3 accounts in my laptop, the original
adminstrator, guest which is off, and another one with adminstrator rights,
when I try to use the last one to remove any software, it just let me know
that I need administrator right to download or remove. How can I restore the
original administrator account?

Right click on the program you want to remove, select Run as Administrator.
Now, try to delete again.

The built-in default Administrator account is, AFAIK, disabled by default in
Vista.
When you go to uninstall software using the account with administrator
rights and it asks for permission, have you just tried clicking "Yes"?

A box : a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will
close the program and notify you if a sloution is available.

Then there is some third-party influence here because an administrator
should be able to uninstall software.
Two questions:
1: What is this application you are trying to uninstall and
2: Is this a work computer?

RUNNING a program as Administrator isn't going to give you any option to
uninstall it....

Who said Run As Administrator is going to give an option to uninstall ?"
Did I say that ? Don't put words in my mouth.
Run As Administrator would give required Permission to un-install.
