Windows XP Help Please !

Not completely ITshit but advancing years do take their toll.

Trying to change my Kodak printer to Wireless but after getting through the process of changing, I get the message "not authorised to change printer settings consult an administrator" or something similar.

I have set up one User Name as administrator (other than my own as a 'User') and attempted to change the settings under that 'administrator' but to no avail. I have had this particular PC for some years now so don't know why it is now giving me grief.

I know I must be thick but can anyone suggest anything which I might do before I decide to jump in front of train !

Go into the administrator account and under user accounts, change your account from user to administrator, restart the machine and try the printer set up again.

Renounce windows and go for the evil empire of apple, or the geeky universe of linux. Both will have a bit of a learning curve but if you're going to live more than a couple of years it will be more than worth while.

Thanks for that - I will give it a try later.
