     How do I give my account administrative permissions when everything I attempt is denied access. This is a second hand pc and I think it is laughing at me.

    If you are trying to perform an action in Vista that requires administrative rights - such as running a program, right click the shortcut for the program and select "run as administrator" and then click OK when UAC prompts you to confirm that you wish to proceed.
