Administrator or not? (Part 2)

Well, I had my second poin t processed, but not the first - I still can't upgrade free MalwareBytes (Mo) to the new version. As I said before, I am running Windows 8.1 on a laptop Lenovo G700. When I check my user account, it is said that I am an administrator, but when I try to upgrade to the new version MB, told me to log on as an administrator, which I am apparently already. Is there a special way, I need Tog on as an administrator, or is there something else I need to do to upgrade the software? Two notes: I'm trying to upgrade the downloads folder, and I have CryptoPrevent installed on my system (even if it is disabled now). Any suggestions?

Thank you fo all your help.

How do you do the upgrade?  If you have downloaded the installation file, right click and "run as Administrator" from the menu.

If it is a button to upgrade within the malwarebytes, you run it high in the same way (right-click and run as administrator).

    Is it possible to read VeriStand channels from within a custom device VeriStand (RT Driver) that are not part of this custom device?

    For example, suppose I want to be able to configure a channel in my custom device to always be twice the value of a string of material that my user selects (I know, better/more simple ways to do this, but this is just a simple example ).  Can I do this from the device custom without programmatically create a mapping of the system?

    good point

    the channel ID (U64s) are not the same in the engine config of vs. Instead, you must set 'references to dependent item' in the config and then get these references in the engine.

    There is no need to check the registry keys to see if you can install updates or not.

    You just need to be connected to an administrator account to install the Windows updates.

    You can check if you are in an administrator account by trying taks simple administrattor. For example. Try to change the time system.

    If you can change the time, you are an administrator; no other.

  • Impossible to the configuration file of the access to the error in XP mode: "is client\users\administrator is not accessible.

    Original title: can not access the configuration file because I'm not the administrator, even if I'm the only person who uses this computer

    I bought Windows 7 Professional on a new computer, because a program that I use every day may run in XP mode.  Configure XP mode and when it asked for a password that I left it empty and press to enter.  When I try to enter in the file config on XP the message "is client\users\administrator is not accessible." You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission.

    I downloaded the andxp of MS virtual pc mode because this 8 year and plu program will be run in this mode.  I copied the old computer config file and you want to replace the file loaded when I installed the program on the new computer.  Who will save me load all data files (more than 80) and not to recreate the data in these files that I changed. I installed the program from the original disc and it is implemented very well except for the config file.

    There are two user fence: virtual XP-admin and virtual user of XP-88950xp.

    The only program I installed XP mode is this one.

    Thank you.

    Hi Hugh Humphreys,

    Leave the password empty section and see if the XPMUSER can be accessed.

    Method 1: If the problem persists, you can try to access Windows XP Mode with the default account named "Administrator". This account appears when we get into Safe Mode. By default, there is no password for this account, and the password is determined when you set up the Windows XP Mode. We can use this account to reset the password of the other accounts password. To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) Firstly, disable the integration features.

    (b) restart Windows XP Mode. When the Boot Menu appears on startup, press F8. (Continue to press the F8 key until the Windows Startup menu is displayed.)

    (c) on the advanced Windows Menu of Options, select Safe Mode and press ENTER.

    (d) log in Windows by using the administrator account and the password.

    Note: The password is empty by default unless you already set a password.

    (e) after the connection mode safe, click on "Start", go to "run", type "nusrmgr.cpl" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

    (f) choose the user you want to change and click 'reset password'. Set a new password.

    (g) click on "Advanced" tab, click on the button "Advanced".

    (h) click on "users". The choice of the user you want to edit in the right pane. It to the right and click on "Properties".

    (i) check the "password never expires". Click on 'OK'.

    (j) then exit the settings and restart Windows XP Mode to normal mode.

    Method 2: Please try following the steps for the computer to remember the credentials and do not ask the password to open each programs:

    (a) when he asks for a password, click Cancel. Without integration feature, you are allowed to log on with an account that does not have a password.

    (b) set a password for your current user.

    (c) click on tools on Windows Virtual PC, choose enable integration features.

    i. type the password, check the box "Remember my credentials" and click OK to open a session.

    II. after joining the domain, logon in XP mode with the local administrator account.

  • How to setup Windows 7 as a working group that is not part of a business network?

    I have 2 Win 7 Pro systems implemented on a working group that is not part of a domain (on XP it was no problem to set up a home network, not a business network). However, Win 7, although it gives the option under system, network ID properties, joining a domain or a workgroup, it fails to really accept the parameters of working group. After the reboot, it is always default to a Business Network setting. It's very frustrating because security seems to be much more rigorous to manage communication; sharing, etc.

    There must be a solution to this. Someone has the answer to get systems to settle and remain in a workgroup about.

    Since then you have only really two choices (workgroup or domain) and to join a domain - servers any must be involved...  I think that there is a lack of communication here.
     
    A "working group" is really - even with all the recent stuff - just a bunch of stand-alone computers with the same name.  John and Jane Smith Mikey - for example.  It can * help * simplify some shares in all areas of resources, but is not as a true area - where they share not only the same name - but many of the underlying parameters is pushed down by a central control entity (server).
     
    So - let's make sure that you are talking about the same thing that you seem to believe that you are.
     
    In the desktop menu or start - right click on "Computer" and choose "Properties".  This should open this folder: 'configuration\systeme and Security\System control. "  -"Computer name, domain and workgroup settings" should be things foure - please list those in response to this announcement.
     
    You can even JOIN a domain with a server being involved and demand - if...

  • Win7: Administrator is not correctly recognized

    Hi people

    I have a little problem with my Windows 7 Professional. The starting point for this were two questions:

    (1) I could not create new users, as the correct files and registryentries have not been created.

    (2) using the my separate administrator account (that I don't use usually) I can't change my preferences for Windows Update. It does work with the admin hidden either. I get information that "some preferences are only to be changed by administrators.

    The first problem I could solve actually give everyone more rights for users / default. Not the best solution, but I guess I can live with that.

    The second problem that I couldn't yet solve. I activated the hidden administrator, but still had no permission to modify preferences. If I type mmc at the command line I get an empty window now (actually got a window not empty when the hidden administrator was not activated yet, so I'm a little worried about it). The ProfileList in Windows NT folder in the registry has an entry for each user, so it seems that things were good there. Running Sfc/scannow does not return anything. Although I can't change preferences for Windows Update I always seem to be able to install programs and set other preferences using the hidden admin or my own admin user. I don't really know why this happened, but of course, I would be happy if someone could give me a clue as to how to solve this problem.

    see you soon

    Hello

    I suggest you use the construction in the administrator to create a new administrator account and check if everything works correctly in the account.

    The built-in administrator is not to work from, but to help create another account. Built-in Administrator account should not be used as a normal administrator account, it is not recommended as not all things or options will work from there.

    I are actually eligible for your first condition since my employer is a partner of Oracle.  That said, I don't take the OCS reviews in order to earn stars of gold for my employer.

    Reviews of the OCS are less technically oriented types of certification. They are intended for vendors and integrators that need to be able to talk about his products and reasonably knowledgeable Oracle making.  Exams I've taken were much more focused towards the fact that there is a given feature and functionality, there with the implementation of the function in the real world. This is not to say that the information that you need to learn how to pass exams of the OCS are not valid. It's good to know what are the features of Oracle products. I have been asked by my employers and past to the opportunity to integrate the feature 'X' into our solutions. Preparation for OCS-level exams can give you an overview of how (or if) given the capabilities of Oracle products can help (or not) in a given situation.

    That said, the OCP and OCE certifications are much more valuable when you really want to learn how to use the various technologies of Oracle.
