Usually, the person who installed the software is the administrator, and sets that all up during installation. Many/Most of us set it up so that we don't have to login every time and are the main administrators. It's not very secure, but it's convenient. If you've installed other software before, it's more than likely that you are the main administrator, and that is not your problem at all.

Explaining all of that to you is WAY off topic though. If you want or need to know information about the operating system, you should try the Windows XP site. They may even have specific information there about why the service pack won't install for you. They are also more qualified than I am to be giving you advice about it.

I'd like to also recommend that you have somebody set this machine up for you. You seem to be a very "lets get to it" kind of guy, and not having to mess around with any of this B.S. might be better for you. The place where you got your Digi equipment would be the first place to start. If they can't or won't do it, they might know somebody who would. A local studio that uses Pro Tools might also be a good place. They'll charge you for their time, but you will at least know that it will work exactly like it's supposed to.

I think so, too. I was struck by the 'worth $5250', it reminded me of the $40,000 reference in the other thread

Hey this is not my boy is it... I guess I should just forget it.
