account is defined as an administrator of the computer, but behaves as a limited account
I have my account set as an administrator of the computer, but I can't do ANYTHING. I get an error message. I can't make changes to my desktop or add or remove programs or update windows, etc, etc... Help!
OK, that's fine.
for some reason, it seems that problems like yours have been particularly widespread in the last month, and the cause is unknown.
in any case, what you can do is to try and install a free booty called profile utility cleaner. I don't know if it can solve the problem, but its worth a try and will not harm your system otherwirse.
Another thing you can do is to copy your shortcuts to the original admin account in your new thereafter.
However, this technique requires some precautions to make sure that only shortcuts are copied. There is a possibility that "maybe" something got installed on your computer and the corrupt program this admin account.
This occurs with poorly written programs install the program files on the desktop and your administrator account, instead of the c:\program files.
When you loan to the above process, let know us and we can walk you through it.

Firefox starts on the computer, but will not be displayed on the screen
Firefox is loaded on a dell Windows XP computer; It works fine one day. The next day I had cleaned up cookies and temporary files when I clicked on the icon, it acted like it was running, but would never appear on the screen. When I went to start it again it told me he was running, but I still don't see the program.
I had to reboot the computer, but when I tried to start it again, it did exactly the same thing.
I uninstalled and reinstalled but that has not solved the problem.Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox and all the leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click Exit in the file menu or Firefox) and confirm all future messages.
- Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the article to Uninstall Firefox .

HP Officejet 6500 Paper Out status on the computer but the paper loaded and test page prints
We have a HP 6500 CB815A, which works well for almost a year. As of today, we get "Paper Out" status on the computer, but there is paper loaded in the tray... the same high quality paper as we always use. The test printer utility reports the same status. However, the printer can print a test page and fax without printing problem status.
I unplugged for 30 seconds to reset, but we get the same status.
Someone has had this same problem and solved?
Thank you
Dave
If you have not tried to reboot your PC, I would. If this does not clear the issue, I would follow the following steps:
- Click Start-> Control Panel
- Select uninstall a program (it's the heading programs)
- Find your driver HP software; Select it by clicking on it once, then select Edit. If the change is not available, select uninstall/change.
- Select repair and then follow the prompts for your software repairs itself.
- If your software does not have the repair option, it may be advisable to download the latest drivers from support.hp.com site. Uninstall the drivers for your printer, and then reinstall them using.
If these steps do not work, please post and I can continue further with troubleshooting.
Good luck

CD/DVD is recognized by the computer, but does not
My CD/DVD is recognized by the computer, but does not... tried fix it did not help
My CD/DVD drive has stopped working. My computer recognizes the drive but when I put a disk in it cannot read. I tried multiple disks, but nothing will work. I tried microsoft fixit, but it does not work. He said that the media cd/DVD drive is not readable. Help, please.
Is that your CD/DVD drive is older than 1 year? Then, the drive may be defective, with a faulty lens.
I don't think that any form of manual registry change or fix tool will work in the situation.
