How come every time i try to download the new yahoo toolbar it tells me i must be an administrator to do that.

This one's easy. Depending on the version of windows you have (probably windows xp) you must have a limited account. The administrator has ALL access to the computer, whereas the limited account users aren't even allowed to download anything. Do you share the computer with your parents or older sib? They probably have the admin account. To download the toolbar, go to the start page (blue with all the user accounts and little pictures), click the one that was made FIRST. That account is probably the admin account. Download from there, and it should show on EVERY users internet toolbar, no matter if they're limited or admin.

You're not a Yahoo "paying" customer.

did you get your computer 2nd hand, i did and it had an administrator password. i made a crazy attempt when it first popped up on the password. i frantically typed the numbers 1234 and that was it. you can change it to whatever after that. then you shouldn't be asked after that for permission anymore. mine belonged to some company and that is there to keep employees from playing instead of doing there job or from downloading things . hope this sends you in the right direction. ♥

because you have a limited user account on windows xp duh. get someone with an administrator account (that you share the computer with) to make you an administrator, or to download it for you.

You are either using Windows 2000 or Windows XP Pro and you are logged on the computer as a user with no administrator privilege. Log in with the administrator password or ask the rightful owner of the computer.

Because you set your computer up for needing an admin. You need to go into your control panel and change your settings.
