• Windows Vista does not work for all programs requiring administrator rights

  I have Windows Vista Business SP1 on a Dell XPS laptop. He worked from 3-4 years. It seems that after a recent update (in the last week), I rebooted the laptop and after that Vista can not run programs that require administrator privileges. This includes most of the items in the Panel, the observer of events, computer management, elevated command prompt and so on.

  After logging in, I get a notification of the task bar that says "Windows cannot connect to the customer service group policy."

  When I try to any program requiring administrative privileges (for example, msconfig), I get an error "Windows cannot find C:\Windows\system32\msconfig.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again"

  I restored the system (from safe mode) for a day where it seems to be ok, but the problem remains.

  The sound in the system tray icon is a trademark of the Red Cross on it, but sounds work ok.

  Analyses of virus through McAfee (all installed updates and latest virus definitions) showed no signs of the virus.

  As already mentioned in the original post, System Restore does not resolve the problem. I got to the new vista installation to fix the problem. Some windows updates and reboot after applying the update seems to be the cause.

• cannot open programs by right click and run as administrator

  had a virus earlier today, I think it was the security of windows one... anyway I got rid of it with malwarebytes and restarted my computer. now, for some reason, I can't run programs without going through a right-click and run as an administrator.
  When I try to run normally (left-click) I get this window "open with."
  I'm not very good with technical terms, but I tried several fixes that have failed

  When I right click, open properties, then open the tab compatibility... "run this program as Administrator" button is grayed out so I can't do anything with that.

  turning UAC enabled or disabled dosent seem to do anything.

  Some programs are completely inaccessible, (like microsoft word)

  I also watched regedit but as didemt not a lot of sense to me at all. If anyone could break how to fix this step by step before reinstalling the DVD (which I did not), you will be my best friend

• Uninstall programs in Vista as an administrator?

  I had this problem for a while when I go in uninstall a program in the menu programs and features in the control panel and with most of the programs, I get an error that says "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." However, I am the administrator of the computer only. Of course I've tried through the original programs uninstall feature if it has one, but it does not work. I tried to pass files them self in Program Files, and check the permissions, but it says I have all permissions.

• You cannot change the administrator rights

  The biggest problem that I have without having administrative access is that I can't uninstall programs, updated ones I use or change my display settings.

  I never did nothing for my computer and am the administrator, this problem just happened on its own. I can not disable UAC because he is not authorized by the Security Center.

  I just want to be able to take control of my computer.

  I tried to make orders on the run screen, but he also tells me that I don't have administrative control to do that.

  I tried to run in safe mode, but it still does not allow me, because this shield bit stupid with four color blocked me to make changes.

  Please help, this user access thing really sucks.

• Have administrator rights, but cannot save a file in a folder

  If I'm the administrator, why my computer told me that I need administrative rights in order to save a file in a folder?

  C: \ program File (x 86).  There is no one else on this computer; It's my phone.

  Is not serious if there is no one else physically on your system, Windows is still a multi-user operating system.  You can be * a * administrator, but it is unlikely that you are * the * administrator and even if you were, C:\Program Files (x 86)-is a protected system directory (the directory Program Files 32-bit on your system to Windows 7 64-bit.)

  If the files that you try to save files that you deploy, keep them in better places (like your documents).  If you try to copy a program/application directory here because it is logical that she's here - grant administrative rights to move things in place on the single basis.

• I can not using F8 safe mode, so I can not get access to my admin account and therefore cannot uninstall my program

  original title: administrator, f8 safe mode access

  My computer problem begins with not being about to uninstall a program. I need administrator permissions. I am the administrator with a password. I'm not invited to give a. Nothng happens when I press a button with a shield on it. I received another message that tells me "unable to open the access control editor: the system cannot find the specified file. I found the instructions online to restart the computer (by pressing the F8 key) in safe mode. Once in safe mode I can essentially take possession of the C drive and reset admin ACCT. in SUMMARY, I can't have with using F8 safe mode (I tried once bagillion) so I can not get access to my admin account and therefore cannot uninstall my program. Can anyone help?

  I don't know anything about "reset admin account" but here are two things that may help the case to start in safe mode.  First, enter the mode safe mode with f8 key is a matter of time.  On my computer (Dell) during the boot process, I'm going to get a screen send me options of start of f2 and f12, which is to enter the BIOS.  I can start hitting key f8 then but you will in safe mode unless I'm hit immediately after that the screen with f2 & f12 choices goes.  I just hit several times for a few moments at this time.

  If this does not work for you, here's another possibility: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/force-windows-to-boot-into-safe-mode-without-using-the-f8-key/
