Papagator

I am logged on as administrator. I noticed that Office 2003 is "read only". I
tried to change that and it would not change.
This is a new computer with Vista Ultimate. I've had lots of problems,
including returning it 2 times for repair. It seems OK now, except for a few
software issues, including this one. During the attempts to repair, I let
HP's repair guy take control of the computer. Is it possiple that He
encrypted something, thus preventing me from acting as administrator?
The bottom line is "Office 2003 will not allow me to make any changes as
administrator or as owner, etc".
Got any suggestions?
