    I have a Toshiba L305D-5868 and I have had troubles getting certain things loaded. I sometimes ask for an administrator, yet it does not give me the option to sign-on as an admin. I tried checking the usual way under computer management, but Vista is a little different that XP and I am accustom to seeing users & groups. Any suggestions on how to give myself complete admin rights to my own computer? Thanks in advance.
