    This actually happened to my friend who has a macbook, trying to figure out how to fix it. Basically what happened was he upgrading to leopard legally... and for some reason, he might have done this but he made himself a normal user and not an admin. He is the only user on the computer. But he cant make himself an admin in system pref. so he cant download or erase anything along with a bunch of other problems. It is like there is an admin user but there isnt. How do you make it so he is an admin.
