dunno if this is the appropiate forum to ask but In order to run a mod for a game I want to play I need to run the steam program as Administrator, I never have made an admin account on my windows XP my user is logged in as just the letter D so if I try right click the steam "run as" then I choose administrator it says "unknown username or bad password" how can I fix this?

well I tried to right click my computer/manage/add admin etc etc double clicking Administrators in Computer Management get as far as it saying "enter object names to select (examples) and if I go into my control panel and look at letter D user it says its already a computer administrator WTF

Rather than looking at D, try creating a new user with admin rights through control panel -> users etc |

I think if you go into windows via safe mode, the administrator account should be available and you could try giving the D account admin rights from there. What confuses me is that if the D account is the only account on the computer, then it should automatically have admin rights anyway. |

If you have the "Steam" icon on your desktop what happens if you right click on it and pick "run as administrator" ? |
