You don't give a great many details do you get any error messages?


Below are a couple of links found on the web, they may help, if not give us a few more details of which windows you run and any error messages you get.

sorry i meant to add that i do get an error message saying "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on the computer and to contact your administrator"


hope you can assist
 
your account has been marked as restricted. either by spyware/malware or virus.


I would be very careful of what I did on that PC and wouldn't dream of typing any passwords into it till you know its clear.

You need to know what admin password was set when it was installed.

Is it a legit copy or a dubious one?
 
from the sounds of it you don't know it. it is set when whoever installed your copy of Windows. If you don't know it you can either find it out by asking or we can think about other options, teh worst being that you need to re-install windows and all programs
