Cloned drive with Ghost now I seem to have lost administrator
My C drive was filled, so I used Norton Ghost to create a clone on a drive about 10 times bigger. The first time I booted up the startup failed. I used the windows disk to fix... started startup items and seems to work fine.
It seems thiere is a matter of being an administrator. A few programs, Quickbooks simple start will especially not worka nd won't let me install a new version told me I don't have permission.
I have the windows disc and it is a copy of licenced on this computer. I have just relead windows again? I lose my data?
Hi paulkpetersen,
Try to take possession of a disc and check whether the problem is resolved.
To take ownership of a drive:
1. click on the drive that you want to take control and then click Properties.
2. click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
3. click on modify. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
4. click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.
5. If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects to check.
6. click on OK.
If this does not work, I suggest you turn on the built in user account and check the type of the user account.
Try to change the type of user account to administrator of built in check and UAC if the issue is resolved.
In Windows Vista, the built-in Administrator account is disabled by default. In previous versions of Windows, an administrator account was created automatically during Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE) with a blank password.
An account administrator with a blank password is a security risk. To better protect the system, the built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in all new installations and upgrades of Windows Vista.

You can create a new user account by following the instructions in the link below, if she works built in the user account.

original title: lost document
I got a new open word doc and is logged when Windows Vista did an update automatically and restart, now I seem to have lost! Any suggestions? A system restore wouldn't work?
If you have not saved the document before the reboot - and Windows always give a lot of warning before restarting automatically - while the file disappeared. There is no way to recover; System Restore does apply to system files, not data.

WHEN I OPEN THE FIREFOX BROWSER, I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THIS ORANGE BAR THAT SAYS FIREFOX AT THE TOP LEFT. I WATCH FILE, EDIT, VIEW, HISTORY, FAVORITES, TOOLS, AND HELP. I WANTED TO TURN ON PRIVATE BROWSING, BUT SEEMS TO HAVE LOST THE FIREFOX BUTTON THAT I NEED TO CLICK ON. THANK YOU, JANE
If you click view, toolbars, then uncheck the 'Menu Bar', you get the Firefox back button?
To turn on private browsing, you can click on the Firefox button, then 'start private browsing' or press Control, Shift, and P keys all at the same time on your keyboard.
Also, make sure that you update with the last 11 Firefox to take advantage of security fixes and stability!

I seem to have lost my Adobe Acrobat Reader software.
Hi, I have 10 Windows installed and seems to have lost my Adobe Acrobat Reader software. When I try to download a copy, it fails and tells me that I already have a newer version installed but there is no sign of it in the control panel of the programs list. Any ideas?
Run the cleanup tool "Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs' first to remove all traces of Reader installed on your machine.
Then, restart your computer and install the software from the below link:
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions
Let me know how it goes.
