You cannot delete the built-in Administrator account. At this point third-party tools would be needed working outside of Windows to see what is really happening on your system. We can't discuss those in these MS forums. Depending on your computer skill level, either do some creative Googling or take the machine to a competent local professional. Don't use a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place. Of course you can always do a clean install/factory restore of Windows instead. Make sure you've backed up your data first.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
