Group Policy Editing - problem with settings in Windows XP
Hello.. I connected to my laptop with the administrator account and open gpedit.msc (Group Policy Editor). I went to experience something I wanted. I went to the Configuration of the user-->---> system and active "run only allowed windows applications" administrative templates. I entered a program name in the box to showlist. Later as I pressed I keep the laptop without disabling this feature. After I connected again, but the system is not allowing to open any program from a program is listed under "run only allowed application. The message I get is this operation is canceled because of a restriction on this computer. Contact system administrator.
I can't open gpedit.msc again to change my settings as the system starts same message. Kindly help me as soon as possible I'm unable to use my laptop.
How to restore the setting above, since I am not able to open gpedit.msc also. Y at - it a solution to restore this setting in the group policy files.

It's pretty funny!
I've recreated here, and I think that you have a few options...
Restart the system Mode without failure and you connect with the XP administrator account (not an account with administrator privileges - use the administrator account). Then, you can run gpedit and undo the change, or as most policy settings are in the registry, you may cancel it. In Safe Mode, you will need to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to log on as an administrator or switch user for the administrator account.
If you still can't get it, you might start on a third party CD that has a remote registry editor included (as Hiren) and change the registry on your computer and remove restrictions which is here:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Delete the entry "RestrictRun"...
For a complete list of all XP policies, what they do and their equivalent registry settings, download the spreadsheet to complete my SkyDrive group policy settings (you never know when you might need it!).

When first pose the problem? Was it before or after the December updates?
KB3004394 and KB3024777 appear in view update history? Or do they appear in installed updates?
Gerry, thanks for your post. I have the same problem as Joachim started this thread. I am running Windows 7 sp1. I have a Dell computer and it's certainly a legitimate copy of Windows (confirmed computer 'properties' and it is enabled).
By your post, I saw just to update and the KB3004394 (installed on 12/10/2014) and KB3024777 (installed on 12/12/2014) show as comfortable. I usually leave the Windows download updates automatically and I install them to stop. I watched the second update and according to Microsoft.com:
Install KB3024777 to fix a problem with KB3004394 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
The KB 3004394 update which was dated December 10, 2014 can cause additional problems on computers that run Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This includes the inability to install future updates. This new update is available to remove KB 3004394 from your computer.
My problem is, as of today 14/12/2014, I still get the pop up "this computer is running not windows genuine', even with KB3024777 installed.
Any thoughts?
Thank you

I have recently installed Windows 10 free update. Now I am unable to delete .pdf files and get the invalid error message "Function MS-DOS." It has never been a problem with the previous Windows 8.1. I contacted Microsoft technical support and they told me there is a problem with the .pdf application and I need to contact Adobe Acrobat. This can be corrected?
uninstall any version of acrobat is installed.
clean by Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs
Restart your computer.
delete all to delete pdf files.
If this fails, it is a problem of ms. If this attempt is successful, then reinstall your acrobat.

I have tried everything recently adjust the settings of the firewall from my window and a box appears saying that after an unidentified error, I can't access my firewall. After some research, I discovered that it was because my client group policy server does not connect and a small box appears saying that whenever I connect to my laptop. It is not effect my use of the internet at all, so I've never bothered to see what that meant until now I need to access my firewall. I tried to adjust the settings in group policy, but everything is gray and I can't change anything. I use an admin account so I don't know why I can't set the parameters. I'm completely stuck and I don't know that much about computers. Is there anything else I can try? I also tried a system restore, but it lasts for a long time and I can return only 5 days. Thank you
Hi Sheldon,
Are you connected or connected to a work network or domain? If so, this could be a policy governed by your network administrator, and you will not be able to change it.You might try to tell scientists on TechNet on your question to see if they have a better answer for you: -
I am running Windows XP Professional Edition and have tried almost way possible from almost all of the codes, so that it can install. He always tells me a different code almost as something it must not 'dismantling' MSE. I am not certified has + by all means! But I do not know when you searched for sites Microsoft etc., you are looking for better & learn yourself. But I'm at the point where I say "I wanted I had saved the old Version of the WLE who worked great." Just to give you a clue, which hopefully will help me can govern this list I've done on:
1. search and read questions from other people who were identical and followed step by step, when I received him seemed to be more common error Code. He said to download update Windows Cleanup Utility and remove everything said Microsoft Live in there. I did this and it just via a different error Code
2 I tried to download directly the WLE "integer" and install it
3 I am the admin. and always "Ran under" admin
4 I watched the system requirements & everything I had was compatible, even if I n "t SQL, but went and downloaded and installed, it
5 I ran in safe mode, and keep in mind that I do every time a cleaning in the place where there is no trace of even the new WLE Installer, b/c I read learned that you cannot leave this trace.
6 and to be honest, I do all this work b/c I think WLE possesses one of the in my opinion, best photo library it y a. quick, simple, but still has all of the improvements that I use direct mail and really liked the MS Outlook 07 connector is what I have right now.
7 I've never seen a free software that is so sensitive that it need to go through all these steps
-Thoughts on any other reasons to help, I would take even the older edition if I could find it, but as soon as I eliminated and did a cleanup & reinstall my hard drive, it hit me. I forgot to record the show and then, think it is free I'll get it online but it has been updated and I need help which is much smarter than me, I will not STOP until I know what and why. BTW, it is not a problem with a firewall or anything b/c I disabled Norton and am MSE tent which was / is child's play, it's not dirty space, but it does the job and it's great and that's why I want the photo gallery for the least and Sync Mail to Outlook. As I have said that I have nothing else, I know to do, I even tried on another computer running the exact same OPS than mine. And it's the same way. ??? Please help me to get someone...
Thank you very much in advance for any help other than that described previously, or if someone from Microsoft could remotely help me if it is possible.

Hmm. check that you can start the Windows Installer service and it is enabled.
- Click Start > run...
- Type cmd /K net start MSIServer
- Press enter and monitor messages in the window of the console open.
If the service is started successfully, then download the offline version of the WLE from here and try to install it. Select all items to install because they are dependent on each other.
Download the new log file, if it fails to install again. -

Hello ColinMorton,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.
I understand that you experience connection problems after that you run a Microsoft Update. I would recommend you look at the HP support document: Safe Mode of Windows 8 (8.1 is exactly the same) and the safe boot mode. Once you are in Mode safe I would recommend that you look at and follow the steps in the HP Support document: use Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) (8.1 is exactly the same) and restore your system a few days before the update that caused you this problem. This will not affect your applications only personal folders that you have installed in the past few days and/or the settings that you have probably changed. You can simply reinstall the applications and/or re - change the settings later.
I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great weekend!

Local administrator account and issue of local Group Policy permissions problem.
You have a local administrator account where it was defined
http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5716/18112010133154.PNG
I think preventing the admin account to remove or install devices. This causes a problem. Looks like it's AD GP as is grayed out and I can't add locally. The network team claim there is no GPs AD to limit the admin account local they know of.
Also, I try to use the process on the machine monitor, but who needs administrator rights and he repeats that the local administrator account is not a member of the Administrators group, but it is.
Any ideas? Even if it's just he Process Monitor bit setting?
And looking at the photo can someone explain which means that icon next to load and unload device drivers. It is different from the others and think that it is linked, may be trying to tell me that it is a strategy of AD Group.
I talked to the networks, they said there is not together AD GP for this. I used the local administrator account to create a new local administrator account and put it in the Administrators group. Connected to it and it also has the same problem.
Any ideas?
The symbol, that you reference indicates that the setting has been locked by group policy and is not editable. When I saw it in the past, the only way I could replace, it is using "secedit". For more information about this command:

option to Editor local group policy for the administrator account on Windows 7
I have an administrator account I want to restrict in some respects. I know that this can be done via local group policy. So, I need:
Installation of new programs require an admin password.
Some programs (that I choose) run without admin password.
Held together under one account, without comments, accounts of users or lower privileges.
No idea how to do it?
Hello
Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.
According to the description of the problem you had to restrict access to some programs using the local Group Policy Editor. The Local Group Policy Editor is a snap Microsoft Management Console (MMC) that provides a single user interface through which all the settings of local Group Policy objects can be managed.
I suggest you to return the article mentioned below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

Satellite Pro C850 - problems with WiFi after Windows update 8.1
Hello
I was wondering if someone could give some advice on a problem I have.
Had an adjustable C850 Pro for a few months and worked well on Windows 8.
I myself am then harassed and intimidated by Microsoft Update in order to install Windows 8.1 and in a moment of weakness, I succumbed (got sick of the nagging).Since that time, my wifi is very intermittent; either I'm on another computer write this and the laptop is essentially not connected to the internet.
For some reason any (although I didn't try it before), I can not connect via ethernet either, so I think it's probably the driver problems. (I also tried to connect the public wifi but fails).
I tried to install the driver WiFi Toshiba 8.1 but that has not solved the problem.
Then I noticed that I'm supposed to install a bunch of drivers in the order.Maximum setting to do it, but the first package (associated with bluetooth) said I have to remove the current driver... I try by "turning off", then "Uninstall" but 8.1 seems to re - install automatically and I don't know how to disable this option (I can try to delete the driver file, I guess, but I'm sure 8.1 covered too and will probably launch a drone to try me out ", if I do). *
Any kind soul there suggestions on a way forward? Pls.
I see in the instructions of Toshiba Windows Update 8.1 should I have uninstalled the drivers before the update, but there is not much I can do about it now. :(
Hello

Two weeks ago I've updated my Satellite U940-103 and everything went well. There is no problem with WLAN. I use it all the time.
What model of laptop do you have?
Have you installed the driver for the Toshiba download page or driver provided by Windows update (sometimes classified as important update)? -
Hello everyone,
In my view, there are many people who seem to have a similar problem to mine, although I was unable to find an answer to one of my questions in this post.
Description of the problem:
Although my Windows Update is defined on download & install updates during the night hours every day, the latest updates, KB26333880, KB2572073and KB2518864 are not be installed. I went to the Windows Update site to check my editing history. He showed the green/white checkmarks next to all 3 updates. The record also showed that updates have been tempted 3 times during the night. After clicking on the button "Express" on the Home Page, the results show 3 above updates, but show "0 bytes', then '0 download time. '
To me, this indicates that there is no update to download, despite the yellow Shield of Notification of update continues to appear in the taskbar.
Corrective measures attempted:
1. I tried to download / install twice unsuccessfully using IE8 and FF (including restarting the computer).
2. download & run the program MS Fixitattempted, but received a message which read, "an unexpected error has occurred, please try again later." No. error code has seen with this message. (I could RECORD the program on my desktop... just couldn't run the establishment).
3 tried to search for the presence of these updates using start > run > %windir%KB###.log (where the # is the individual number of update KB). Every time - a message appears indicating that the file is not found.
4 looked at the Add/Remove Programs list (with the Show updates checkbox checked). No updates KB mentioned above could be found.
5 with SAS, MBAMand Outpost Security Suite Pro scans revealed no malware/security issues. (SAS and MBAM are used only as scanners on request).
This problem with the updates does not download & repeated notifications being indicated in the taskbar has occurred many times before. On this occasion, I called Microsoft several times before finally, my computer remotely accessible support person and spent about 50 minutes to fix the problem.
(Also, it is noted that almost every support person I spoke with has always tried to tell me that MS is not help with the problem of this type.) I had to be rather several in my reply... tell the person that MS IS in fact provide assistance free security-related Windows updates. They now provide free assistance is unknown). Besides... I have more a phone number for States anyway.
My questions to the community:
1. is it possible to download & install these 3 updates?
2 is there an explanation as to why MS Fixit program will not be installed, and if so, are there certain corrective measures I can take which will allow me to download & run this program?
System Specs:
Desktop Dell Dimension 3000 Tower; WIN XP Pro SP3. 2 GB OF RAM; 3.00 gHz CPU; Outpost Security Suite Pro. MBAM Pro (on request only). SAS (on request only); SpywareBlaster; IE8 & FF
Thank you for your time and help, review!
