• Cannot create a new user account in Vista Home Premium

  Running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 installed, running on a LG laptop. I am set up as an administrator, but when you click through the steps to create a new Standard user account, it does not create and does not appear in the list of users.
  I tried searching for this issue of TechNet, but was unable to find anything related.
  Any help is appreciated

  Hi B Pick,

  Thanks for posting us the Forum of community of answers.microsoft.com.

  Since he had been some time since your last post, we marked this as resolved.  Recently I saw messages and found that you had posted about it recently.  Sometimes if a thread shows solved it do not get reviewed again, so, my apologies, it took some time to answer.

  A point of interest in considering the issue of "unable to create a user account having administrative rights" is can create you an account that has no administrative rights from another account and then you use that has administrative rights?  Information Justin had submitted and information, I'm reviewing, it would be very beneficial for our steps in troubleshooting to have this documented as being verified.

  You would present to us in the forum if this is something you are able to accomplish in a new administrative account that you create for this system?

  In another order of ideas, it would be that there are suspicious software loaded on the system.  Try running scan of Virus and malware removal tool.

  Here are some links for the Microsoft-Authored applications for these procedures.  Check if these are products that you want to use, or if you have already produced in place for this activity to use them if you wish.

  You can download the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool here:

• Cannot find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium

  I don't have the product key of Windows 7 Home Premium? Where can I find it?

  Original title: Charles 111

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  I would like to ask you:

  • Did you buy Windows 7, or was it pre-installed on your PC?

  If you bought a copy of Windows 7, you must have the drive and the product key is on the cover of the disc or the disc itself.

  If Windows was preinstalled on your PC, there could be a sticker anywhere on the system with a product key to this topic.

  Note: Not all PC makers provide the key on a sticker on the machine body. You may need to contact them for the same thing.

  Reference:

• Cannot remove the old user account (admin)

  I'm on a MacBook Pro 15 "the retina with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.

  I have two admin accounts, an 'old' I do not use and a more current that I use.

  I want to delete the 'old' admin account, but I get an error message: "cannot delete user... account error backup in the home folder for this user."

  Here are the steps I followed:

  1. System Preferences-> users and groups

  2. click on unlock icon; authentication with username and password

  3. click on the 'old' user account and click on the button "-" to remove it.

  4. Select the option "save the home folder in a disk image", then click on remove the user

  5. for the moment, he says 'delete account '.

  6 then I get the error message.

  I know that I could choose the second option (in step 4), but I really want to move the old files of the user users users/Deleted.

  Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated

  

  The first thing that comes to mind is the following: is there enough room for the disc to be created image and put in files? The files are not moved from the reader to the disk image, they are copied. Then for a time in the account to be deleted files will be on the computer two times. The second thing that comes to mind is that there is a directory of the hard drive problem. If you do not have enough space and is my first problem, start the recovery partition and use the directory of disk to repair the drive. And the third thing that might be the cause of the problem is a bad file that cannot be copied to the disk image. It will be difficult to understand because basically, you will need to open each file to find the one that is perhaps incorrect.

• (Word2007 and Acrobat Reader 9.3) software applications do not respond (show the codes of errors/etc) ONE of my user accounts (running Vista Home Premium 64); will work perfectly on all the other (total of 3) user accounts.

  8.3 and word2007 Acrobat (version family and student) does not not in one of my user accounts - no problem in others; downloaded Acrobat 9.3; problem persists in Acrobat; Failed to get support for Word as they know is no longer my (expired) product key. Any method to repair/restore/reinstall to only the affected user account.

  Hi Chuck41,

  Since both applications work correctly on some other user accounts except the account of a user that can occur if this user account is damaged.
  You will need to create a new user account and then transfer the file and the settings of the user account damaged to the new user account.

• Cannot remove bitlocker after downgrade from Ultimate to home premium

  Original title: Bit Locker

  I have windows 7 ultimate, but then I went home premium.

  The problem is that I had a bit of locker WE on ultimate but then before moving to Home Premium I didn't remove it. Now, I want to delete bit locker, but I can't do it.
  What to do now?

  Ujala91

  BitLocker is available in versions of Vista Ultimate or enterprise. It is therefore not a way to remove bitlocker of Home Premium.

  How do DOWNGRADE you from Ultimate to Home Premium? I assume that you have installed Home Premium without formatting the drive.

• Cannot remove the XP user account

  This is a limited account that I need is no longer. I already deleted the password. Everything else works fine. I use a good antivirus and scan for viruses and spyware regularly. I'm the only user on the computer, so I don't know what could be the problem. I have no other problems at all. However, when I log on as an administrator and try to delete this unused account my computer just hangs. I get an error message "not responding". I get the same result if I choose "keep files" or delete files. I deleted the unused accounts of my computer before without problem. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

  Try to remove the user from the register under the list of profiles using regedit.
  HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\SID >

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk...

  I hope this helps.

• Cannot remove a disabled user account

  Hiya!

  When I start my laptop I have three accounts, the one I use for my family when they really need to use, special guests and another account. That other account still connect for some reason, but when I click it, it said: your account has been disabled, please consult your system administrator.

  Now, I wanted to delete this account because it is causing trouble, but it does not appear in Control Panel. What can I do?

  Well I close my laptop, it brought on the day before, and then when I open it it will show me to select the account (as you would with any account that has a password), and underneath it says connected. I don't think this is supposed to be like that tho.

  If I turn my phone it will say: there are other connected users, they might lose data and whatever.

  OK, we're going to investigate this mysterious account. Please follow these steps:

  1. Click the start planet.
  2. Type cmd.exe in the search box and press enter
  3. Type the following commands exactly and press ENTER after each one:
     Set Log="%UserProfile%\Desktop\Log.txt".
     setting user > Log %
     NET users > Log %
     net users
     (now remember the name of the account involved in the list. "I'll call it xxx.)
     NET user "xxx" > Log %
     net localgroup administrators > Log %
     c:\Users dir > Log %
     Log %
  4. Mark and copy the text that you see and then paste in your response.
  5. Restart in Mode safe mode and check if the problem persists.

• Can I remove C:\sysprep-sysprep from Windows Vista Home Premium?

  Recently, I noticed that whenever my anti-malware comes to sweep sysprep - C:\sysprep, the process will be interrupted.  The treated elements & elapsed time will continue to increase even if the blue bar is moving.  The overall progress does not move. As a first step, I have observed that he could stop for hours. . Also, the second attempt was not successful even after the uninstallation of the anti-malware and re - install via the website. I had to close the application without completing all the way.
  Since he gives to the scanning process, I would like to delete this file sysprep from my laptop. My laptop will cause no problem if this file? As far as I know, sysprep is intended for administrators, not end users.
  If this file can be deleted from my laptop, please advise on the steps of removing. Thank you.

  Hello

  I suggest you analyze your computer Microsoft Safety Scanner, it will help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• Problems loading the updates of Windows 7 Home Premium

  Hi, I'm new to this Yes please forgive my ignorance. I was very happy user of Windows 7 Home Premium for quite awhile and updates of the software always loaded without any problems. Recently, I made a BIG mistake by taking advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 10. I tried for three weeks and hated it for several reasons, decided to go back to my Windows 7 tested and reliable HP. Unfortunately, and despite the claims of Microsoft, the 'old' system does not install exactly as it was before.

  My task manager no longer exists and every time he told me not to cut as updates windows load (i.e. loading 1 NN updates etc... ") it always ends telling me that there is an error. Then he hangs up and after a long period of time, I am forced to shut down my PC by cutting the freezer (it won't let me turn off, by any other means.

  Can someone tell how can I solve these problems, particularly the second.

  Thank you

  Please run the Windows Update Troubleshooter:

• Virtual PC for Windows 7 Home Premium?

  From what I've heard, VirtualPC is for Windows 7 Home Premium. I know that Windows XP mode is the higher versions, but I tried just VirtualPC, and I tried the two versions, x 64 and x 86 (I x 86 and x 64 I tried just to see if it worked), two installers saying that the update did not apply to my computer. I download the wrong program, or if I am not allowed to download? I downloaded from a link who redirect me to the Microsoft site.

  Windows Virtual PC is available free of charge to users of Windows 7 Home Premium and you can use it with your own personal copy without problem. So no, it's not illegal.
