Always problems with my windows xp - I am not the administrator more?

The restore option has not worked but thanks. The problem is that we use this station as our computer for UPS shipping. The software is no longer opens upward. I contacted UPS and after some troubleshooting we determined that it may be a bug in my windows. Reason for this is that when we tried to rename the folder UPS in my drive c: the computer wouldn't let me. Than any other while it says that I am the administrator, that indicates that I am not. The only thing that has changed from one day to the other is that the computer has been disconnected accidentally, would it? All other functions of the computer seems fine. Any suggestions?

The quick test to check if you are administrator must right click on the button 'start '.  If "Open all Users" is one of the choices that is displayed in the pop-up window, then you're probably administrator.

You seem to be confused in regard to access to the files and folders as authorities apply to administrators.  Permission-Wise, directors are like any other user and can be denied or granted access to any file or folder.  The only feature that administrators have that standard users are not is the ability to change the permissions on any file or folder.

The most common problem that arises when power is disconnected unexpectedly on a computer is damaged disk sectors.  If the computer just happened to write to disk when power is interrupted, this sector and those who surround him he might have been damaged.  Therefore, the first thing to that after such an event is to perform a disk check complete with repair options (or/r option specified on a chkdsk /F).  Procedure for that is here:

"How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

Note that for the system disk, verification will be made at the next reboot of the system, can take hours to perform, and can not be interrupted.  Do during the night or when you won't need the computer for awhile.

About the inability to move the UPS folder...  Is not unfamiliar with this 3rd party software, it would be useful to know what the UPS Directory directory resides in and the error message you received when you tried to rename it.  Remember that if the directory is already used by an active program, it could refuse to rename even with permissions.  You will need to start safe mode and rename it from there.

  • Problems with error Windows Audio and Control Panel "one or more of the audio service is not running.

    I'm a bit of a technophobe, but I'll try to explain my problem, I got better.  I recently had a problem with Windows 8 and refreshed my system.  After refreshing, I installed AVG Anti-virus and that's where my problems really started.  After installing AVG I have no sound and my control panel usually pop up.  The box is displayed but there is nothing in it and it sorts just of sticks, frozen.  I tried the fixes recommended to fix my sound. The speaker in my taskbar icon has a red x on it and when I try to open it it goes right to the problem-solving mode, then comes up with "one or more of the audio service is not running.  When I try "run services.msc' and try to start Windows Audio through Services I get error 0x800706cc.  I tried to uninstall AVG and reboot, but it did make a difference.  Please help, this leads me to the madness now.  Nothing I try seems to work!

    Installation of AVG is when the problems started, I would start by undoing that.  Since the normal uninstall did not help, use system restore to return to a work situation.  Check here and use the #1 option.

  • Windows Vista home Premium 32 bit SP2: iTunes 10.1: there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

    I worked on it for about 3 days now. It's driving me crazy. I tried everything I could find to try to solve this problem.

    When installing iTunes it stops and a box will then appear to me said "there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support provider or package. "No error message or anything, that's all I get. When I hit the only button I can hit the OK button, it continues to install QuickTime. Sometimes, it will install the iTunes file and the shortcut, but the shortcut does never work and the iTunes file is always empty. I have download the installer directly from Apple.com and save to the desktop, a new copy after each test (just in case).

    Here is a list of what I've tried:

    Yes, I am the administrator of the computer with admin abilities, yes I checked run this program as an administrator. I also made sure to stop all this as possible could interfere with the instillation, including my anti virus and what not even before I tried a clean boot.

    Is there anything else I can try?

  • have a problem with my Windows Services.

    I have a problem with my Windows Services.
    Every time when I run the Windows Services window, I get a warning:

    One or more activex controls could not be displayed because that is:
    1. your current security settings prohibit running activex
    the controls on this page, or
    2. you have blocked an editor of one of the controls.
    for example, the page may not display correctly.

    The warning popup opens only when I click on the extended tab.
    The problem has nothing to do with the security of IE, because I can open pages with ActiveX controls on them and so.

    I installed the Spybot spyware/malware removal tool. Then uninstalled.
    I don't know if this is the cause of the problem. But I assume that it is.

    So, maybe someone faced the same problem and knows the cause for it.

    Thank you.

  • Problems with iTunes re-Setup - "there is a problem with this Windows Installer package"

    I tried to re - install iTunes with the latest version because I had received an "error 7" message instead of iTunes. You had covered the steps to uninstall and reinstall iTunes by removing iTunes, Quicktime, and other applications on my computer. I had uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime, but when I tried to uninstall the Apple software update, I get the following error message:

    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your supplier of staff or the package of support ".

    Specific file names are mentioned in the error messages?

    Here is the standard advice for dealing with problems of installation of iTunes.  Because you are having trouble to uninstall one or more of these applications, you must use Windows Installer Cleanup mentioned below or Free Revo Uninstaller to uninstall applications difficult.

    Caution: Cleanup utility Windows Uninstaller has been removed from Microsoft download servers because sometimes it seems more removed he was supposed to (I believe this was linked to Office uninstall).  You can still get Windows Installer Cleanup here--> http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html utility if you use it, you must create a restore point from the system first (or back up the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT).  An image full disc would be safer if you have this ability.

    If these steps do not help, ask for help in the Apple forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows?view=discussions&tagSet=1234#/

    Have you tried completely removing all software related to iTunes and files, allowing you to perform a "clean installation" of iTunes? It comes to my technique proposed, taken from the article in Support of Apple HT1926.

    Go to control panel > Add/Remove programs
    Remove these applications:
    1 Apple Software Update
    2. Apple Mobile Device Support
    3 Hello
    4 iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, be it, it is not necessary, then we can remove it)
    5 iTunes
    6 QuickTime

    Open my computer > C: > Program Files
    Delete this files (if present)
    1 iPod
    2 iTunes
    3 QuickTime

    Empty your temp directory:
    Open my computer > C: > Documents & Settings > username > Local Settings and delete the contents of the folder called "Temp".

    If you don't see the local settings, enable hidden files:
    Tools > Folder Options > view tab
    Select Show Hidden Files & folder, and then click OK

    Once this file is empty, restart the computer

    Download & install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
