I've installed Drupal, managed to put everything working, created my first user. The problem is that when I try to access "Administer Drupal", I get a blank page with "You are not authorized to access this page.". I've double checked the configuration, PHP and Apache configuration files, but with no luck. Running on Windows 2000, with Apache 2.0.44, PHP 4.3.1 and MySQL 3.23.55
What might be the problem?

try apache 1.3
someone reported here better luck with apache 1.3. If your problem is fixed just by changing this, then we may have an incompatibility. please let us know.
I fixed it this way
1. Open php.ini file (normaly in the windows/winnt directory)
2. Find Change / add the following settings
register_globals = 0
track_vars = 1
short_open_tag = 1
magic_quotes_gpc = 0
magic_quotes_runtime = 0
magic_quotes_sybase = 0
arg_separator.output = "&"
session.cache_expire = 200000
session.cookie_lifetime = 2000000
session.auto_start = 0
session.save_handler = user
session.cache_limiter = none
php_value allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off
3. Open the drupal website (e.g. http://localhost/drupal420)
4. Login user name and password initially given to you by drupal
(for installation steps please look for the install doc supplyed with drupal)
5. And it worked (At least it works on my system with IIS)
