[Trepidacious]

I tried to download and execute the BelArc diagnostic utility and it failed as I don't have Admin access!

This is a standalone laptop and as far as I know there has never been an Admin user account created. It was bought new, but has been for repair a couple of times (backup and restore to fix a problem with ... I can't remember, but that was more than 18 months ago and it was working fine since then).

I have already raised a thread on the Drivers forum regarding a problem with my Sound Card, but the steps to get help there have revealed this "No access to Admin" problem.

Any ideas?
