I am the only user on my PC. but i do not have the administrative priviledges. i cant even copy anything to C and D drives because i do not have the write privileges.Please help me...... when i right click on computer, and say manage, a message such as "Windows cannot find "". Make sure that you have typed the name correctly and try again" is displayed. i do not have even the right to install anything.

    I am having a similar issue when I try to make changes through the command prompt. It says that I need to run as an administrator. I have gone through the steps of making myself the administrator, which I already was, but it is still insisting that I am not. How to I fix this?

    I had downloaded NPAV antivirus from its official website and right clicked on it and said "Run as administrator". After the installation, the system was restarted and now i do not have any of the administrative priviledges. i cant even copy to C and D drives...

    I know nothing of NPAV. Because of the problem starting right after installing NPAV I would remove NPAV. Their is a tool to remove it.

    (Download) Net Protector 2013 Removal Tool Download (Uninstaller)

    Then I would go to a restore point before this problem started.

    By Brink:
    System Restore

    Next step would be to install Microsoft Security Essentials.
    Then check and see if your permissions are correct.
