Quicktime Player Help [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]

Help would be appreciated....

ive installed iTunes but when i open it it says i need the new version of Quicktime Player. So i downloaded the new version, but when i try to install it, this happens:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\QuickTime

Here are some print screens:

There is only 1 Account on this computer which is mine (Gavin) so im sure i should have all the rights to download anything. But when i look at this, it says (DELL-BOY\Administrators) and (DELL-BOY\Gavin) <---My Account.
How would i log in as (DELL-BOY\Administrators) ?

Can anyone help me out ?

Thanks

Most likely it's automatically logging into your account and doesn't display the option to log into another one.  To change that, open the Control Panel and go into the User Accounts section.  Click the "Change the way users log in" link and uncheck the Welcome Screen box.  The next time you restart you should get a text login screen that will allow you to change from your account to the Administrator account.

If you are the only user account on the system, then you are a member of the administrators group.  There is no need to log in as another account. 

Uninstall all Itunes and Quicktime software, by going in to start-->control panel--> add remove programs--and click on each one and choose remove.

Download new itunes from here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
you can uncheck the send email boxes and choose free download now button.  save this file to your desktop. (do not run yet)

Download the new quicktime v7 to your desktop: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html.  Save this file to your desktop.

Install Quicktime first and then install itunes.
