Create local snapshot replication for sql 2005 failed

I tried to create a local snapshot replication from data A to database
B for sql 2005. I followed the wizard and it was created successfully.
But,nothing written to the replication folder and the job failed.
I manually executed the sqls and it always failed on
sp_addpublication_snapshot and the error was:
'DB4\Administrator' is a member of sysadmin server role and cannot be
granted to or revoked from the proxy. Members of sysadmin server role
are allowed to use any proxy.
I log in to windows 2003 as administrator and the replication account
id dbsnap. What I have to do to avoid the error?
Is there a detailed step-by=step guide to create a snapshot
replication?
Can someone provide a set of sqls that I can just use to create a local
(or remote) snapshot?
Thanks,
Andy

Can you make the admin account( 'DB4\Administrator' ) part of the sysadmin
role on the publisher?
