When installing 9.0, I get all the way to the end then get an error stating

"Error 1303: The installer has insufficient priviledges to access this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Resource\Font\PFM. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator."

Sounds easy enough, but I already am logged on as the administrator. This is my personal computer and I have the only user account on the system. It lists my user account as the administrator. Being the only user account on the system, it's impossible to NOT be the administrator anyway.

What am I missing? The previous version of Reader has disappeared and I cannot view any PDF files. I am using Vista as my OS on an HP Pavillion Entertainment PC (laptop).

Thanks for any suggestions you might be able to offer...
Denise
