    I am not administrator?


    When I try to install World of Warcraft or any game, Windows says I cannot continue because I'm not an administrator of the computer. But clearly... i am an administrator.

    Can you be more specific about what it says? Maybe a screenshot of the message that appears? It might just be a UAC prompt, but I can't be sure without knowing exactly what is says.
