• I am trying to download a patch for a game on the internet, but whenever I try, a message appears saying that I don't have administrative rights to install a patch. I am the only user of a computer. How can I fix it?

  I tried to use the administrative tools to solve this problem, but nothing seems to think it would work in this situation.

  Floop51,
  Can you let us know which game is that you have problems with?  If so he can help us solve this problem.  I suggest to try two things.  First would be to perform a clean boot and competitions.  Then create a new admin user account, and then test the game for this user.  Here are links to articles on these steps.

  Hello

  Please go through it,

  Disabling Fast User Switching in Windows Vista

  • Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press enter
  • Navigate to the following location:

  Local computer policy | Administrative templates | System | Opening of session

  • The value hide the entry points for fast user change enabled
  • Quit the Group Policy Editor.

  By activating strategy, administrators hide the user switch in the logon user interface, the start menu and the Task Manager. Note that the Group Policy Editor does not exist in some editions of Windows Vista. Alternatively, you can configure the setting through the registry.

  Edit the registry

  • Click Start, type regedit.exe and press enter
  • Navigate to the following branch:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------policies------System

  • Create a DWORD (32-bit) value named HideFastUserSwitching

  • Exit the registry editor.

• I am not recognized as the administrator. I am owner of the computer and the only user

  If anyone has any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated.

  For as long as I had my HP G60-235DX notebook pc with windows vista. It won't recognize me as the administrator. I am the only user and the owner. I checked under the control panel in the user accounts, and he said im set as an administrator but when some programs want to run it says I must have administrator privileges and then stops the program. Any help would be good.

  You do a right click on the program > run as admin.

  See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

• I need permission for everything and I don't know how else to do it... I am the only user of the computer.

  I am logged as singular Vista user.  I can't delete files... impossible to install programs, etc... He always says access denied and I need permission... I'm the only user with UAC disabled.  What is the problem?

  Hello

  Just a few questions:
  [1] which version of Vista you are running?
  [2] which folder you are trying to delete?

  Click the button START/Pearl and in the LINE RUN type "cmd" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  Once in DOS:
  Type "winver" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.
  This will give you the exact version of Windows you are using.

  Also, copy and paste everything between the lines in the BACK window.
  Where is the account you used.
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  net localgroup administrators / Add
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

  Then log in as you and try again.

  If it does not go back in the DOS window
  Click the button START/Pearl and in the LINE RUN type "cmd" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  Once in DOS mode copy and paste everything between the lines in the BACK window.

  --------------------------------------------------------
  NET user Admin Password1 / add
  net localgroup administrators Admin / add
  net localgroup users Admin/delete
  --------------------------------------------------------

  This will create a user called "Admin" with the password "Password1" and will only get the user to an administrator.
  Log in as user name and try again.

  If you can't always do what you want to do, let know us and we will continue to try to help.

• I myself put in place as long as the administrator and am the only user, but my wife's name is still on display in the user records

  original title: problem strange user

  Hello people out there... My problem is that I got on the computer of my wife which is a HP Pavilion with Vista home Premium. I myself put in place as long as the administrator and am the only user... However my wife's name still shows under the user folders, i.e. 'C:\User\jenny '. I went to the sections of the user to delete, but it does not appear, it shows me only... also when I try to delete the folder of the user, the delete option wonder if I want to delete my account... My folder is located on the right of the Start button with more programs from the main menu, but my wife is located under the main C: drive I obviously did something wrong when I set up my user account, but I have no idea... so if anyone of you people can help me, I would be very grateful... Thank you.

  If you change the name of an account, the name of the associated in C:\Users folder does not change. As far as I know, there is no way to change this.

• Impossible to delete a user account, even though I am the administrator and the only user of my PC

  Hello, you who knows:

  My OS is Vista Home Premium SP2 and I am the only user and
  administrator.
  ... But the other week, unable to access one of my files, I created
  another administrator account, which appears as a different user on
  my welcome window, but I couldn't do much with.

  Therefore, I decided that it would be a useless account for me to
  have created.
  ... How can I remove this 'new' alternate administrator account?
  For some strange reason, Vista Home Premium doesn't have
  an option 'remove' or 'delete '.

  Can someone knowledgeable computer please tell me what I can do
  to remove this other account?
  I do not see it when my welcome window opens.

  Thank you for your attention to this.

  Dear noomene K,

  What a beauty to hear from you again and to see all of your great advice!

  Your instructions to cancel/hide delinquency counts that I myself
  created were certainly useful

  ... Unfortunately, and despite everything, the problem remains.

  I therefore scoured Internet for some other answer and found a
  prompt command, I decided to try.
  -Says the command prompt: net user administrator /active: Yes, I have
  used for the account I wanted to keep and continue to use.

  -And then I went to the user account window that I wanted to cancel
  and placed the command prompt: net user administrator / active: No..

  Who took care of my problem!

  But you gave me a few instructions very well anyway, and I really appreciate
  your help.

  Thank you.

• 1 other user logged on, but I'm the ONLY user.

  Hello. I have a big problem and it was bugs me for a few months.
  So for the last few months I tried to download Stopzilla on my laptop but an error message appears telling me that there is 1 other user connected and he tells me that I have to enter this account and log off until I can start downloading the software.

  The things is, I'm the ONLY user. I have only one account on this laptop and the administrative account. So I don't understand why I still receive the message in the first place.

  Hi hannahyQ,

  To narrow the problem, please follow the steps mentioned below:

  Step 1: start the computer in safe mode, check whether the default Administrator account is activated.

  Access the menu options advanced boot by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Do you see the default Administrator account? If so, disable the default Administrator account:

  (a) click Start in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  (b) at the command prompt, type net user administrator /active: no and then press ENTER.

  You should see a message stating that the command completed successfully. Type exit and press ENTER to close the command prompt window.

  Restart the computer and check if the problem is resolved.

  If the problem persists, the computer could be infected with the virus.

  Step 2: Run a scan online for any threat and try to correct

• I am the only user on my computer, why I am not a system administrator?

  I am the only user on my computer, why I am not systemadministrator

  Because you don't need to be, and you should be on a daily basis anyway.

  Windows 7 (and Vista before) makes it much easier to raise a Standard user account controls without having to run as or log on to an administrator account.

  If this isn't what you ask the subject then please state your question.

• I can't open my pictures folder. Error message says I don't have permission! I ran disk utility and found no errors. How this could have happened and how can I fix this problem? I'm the only user.

  Suddenly, I can longer open my pictures folder. I tried to move a picture to the folder to see what is happening and received an error message saying I was not allowed to display the contents of the folder and if I move the picture here, I won't be able to see. I ran disk utility and found no permissions error.

  How this could have happened and how can I fix this problem? I'm the only user. No one else has ever physical access to my computer. However, I sign up for Skyhub a few weeks ago and copied the contents of my Macbook it. Since then, a "Remote disk" icon on my hard drive. This would be part of the problem?

  Select it, choose get the information on the file menu, open the section sharing and permissions and give you access.

• must ' secondary log - we ' turn in my services? (I am the only user)

  After reading the definition of "secondary log - we ', it sounds like leaving a door wide open! Any other service not depend on either.

  Hello

  Please see the link.

  To start the secondary logon service

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/sys_srv_secondary_logon.mspx?mfr=true

  Secondary logon service necessarily does not make the non-secure computer.

  However, you can use the Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus software to protect your computer against viruses and other malicious threats. Since you are the only user, it is not necessary to start this service.

  If you are the only user who uses the computer the files you are referring are those that would be needed for troubleshooting for any failure of the system. I recommend you do not remove all the files that are hidden or disk rot.
