Chessman.exe

I want to replace a file in the <win root>:\WINDOWS\system32 file. However, it says i dont have the right permissions. I am the only one who uses this computer, and i AM the admin. So how would i do this?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Windows Vista
Windows Vista

K, here are my problems, :D
when i tried the "net user administrator /active:yes" line, it didn't work. To get into this command line, i clicked the start menu, then typed "cmd", then enter. is that ok?

then, when i tried "Right click on the folder and run as administartor" It didn't have an option to do so.

THEN,when i tried "/f filepath (takeown /f c:\windows\system32\Bubbles.scr)." the cmd line said "the current logged on user does not have ownership priveleges on the file (or folder) "G:\windows\system32".

when i tried "Now input icacls filepath /grant yourusername:f " it said access is denied.

keep in mind, i did try out the unlocker, nothing worked. The unlocker thing showed up in the menu, i tried it, but the file wouldn't replace the file i wanted.

also remember, i am the only one using this computer. I am using a fresh copy of windows vista home basic. Please help. thanks again.
