Vista tells me I do not have Authority!
Recently my computer started slowing down so I checked out the processes in the task manager where I found a ton of AOL stuff running. I don't have or use AOL, but I know the program has a tendency to download with other things and run. I thought I'd simply remove all the AOL programs etc from my computer but when I tried to uninstall it wouldn't let me. Vista told me that I didn't have the authority to delete the program, but I am the only account on the computer. To test it I tried to uninstall another unrelated and unimportant program (I think it was a screen saver) but apparently I don't have the authority to do that either. What should I do!?
