Can't Uninstall Software.
I own E Machine ET1161-07. When I try to uninstall programs, the error message says I need permission from the administrator. But I have my machine set to always log in as administrator. Is the error message talking about something else? Otherwise, why doesn't it recognize me as the administrator? Can someone tell me how to fix this, please? Many thanks!

I believe that there might be a problem with the user account that you are using. The best solution for this is to create another user account which should be set again to Administrator Type. These are the steps in creating a new user account for your computer.
1. Click Start/Windows logo
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click Add or Remove User Accounts
4. Click Create Account link
5. Enter the Account Name
6. Click the Administrator radio button to set your computer into Administrator Type of account
7. Click the Create Account button
