Adminstrative Control Question

I am having a problem installing some Wingman Software and their support says I need to change my 'admistrator' preference to 'full control' for the software to install properly. I see in the registry that full control under my name is check marked but grayed out. This xp system is not on a lan and is just used for home use. How can I get full control without the gray out? Please be specific about instructions. This is a new area for me.
Thanks,
doug

Just go to "Users and Passwords" in the Control Panel and change your account to an Administrator account.

Thanks, Doc for responding. I went there not knowing what to do exactly. I changed some things and still get the gray out 'full control' for the administrator. It has my name as administrator and user.l Now when I boot up, a Logitech window asks to insert the Wingman cd v. 3.25. I think it is trying to complete an installation. Can't delete or uninstall it either. It is looking for the same file as noted in earlier note to uninstall.
Need more help.
