How to troubleshoot user account? Cannot download Mcafee.
I can't download Mcafee, after going thru with their support team, they have identified is due to user account problem. My admin account is not all permissions. The part the more delicate is I assigned the guest as an administrator account, by default there is no password and assuming so no full authorization. I tried several times to delete or reassign the account, but fail to do so. Pls help, until today my PC don't have any antivirus because I can't download Mcafee.
Thank you
The tricky part is that I assigned the guest as an administrator account.
WHY? The guest account is a security risk (which explains why it is disabled by DEFAULT) that allows anonymous access on your computer outside of things. You should DISABLE the guest account. This is probably why you cannot install McAfee...

on windows 7 starter edition how can I open an admin account, I have a standart account and I couldn't open any software on computer please help me.even change user account cannot be opened.
Hi kuentin,.
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
(1) - what do you mean you have only 1 user account?
When you set up Windows, you will need to create a user account. This account is an administrator account to allow you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use. And that's why the user account you are using is the administrator account.
There is no way that you can create an administrator account, or by using a Standard account.
(2) are you having issues during installation of the software or opening it?
(3) what exactly happens when you try to open the software application?
(4) should be codes error or error messages, if any?
(5) what software are you trying to install or open?
I suggest you go to the link below and read for more information on user accounts.

How to restore user account missing when the connection after that power outage occurred?
Windows XP Media Center edition PC was carried out at the time of the power failure, which lasted about 2 hours. When turned back on, it was missing the user account on the XP login screen. However, after logging another user, all the files seem to be present, but the system restore will return to another point, and the same username cannot be recreated (it says it is already used). How can the user be restored? Thank you!
I fixed it! I copied a solution to another user in the forum:
1. click on the Start button.
2. go to control panel and choose switch to Classic view (if not to this point of view).
3. double-click on Administrative Tools.
4. double-click on computer management.
5. on the left, click area to expand local users and groups.6. click on groups.
7 double-click on administrators.
8. click the Add button to add the user missing to the list.
It restored the user to the logon screen.

user account to download Cisco IPS signature
Hi all
I wanted to activate the automatic update in IPS but he asks Cisco VAC with cryptographic privileges for tΘlΘcharger Cisco.com Cisco IPS signature and engine signature updates.
is their any default access for this?
I have VAC ORC is if this can be used?
You must have a Cisco.com user with privileges to download Cisco IPS signature and signature updates cryptographic engine of Cisco.com.
Using your cisco.com account go to this link and see if you can download the IPS - K9 - 6.1 - 2 - E3.pkg to your own desktop machine.
If you cannot download this file with your account, then you can use that account and password when you set up the sensor for updates automatic cisco.com.
If you can not download the file with your account, your account does not have the right settings.
Your account does not have access crypto or your account is not correctly connected to your service contract for your sensors.
There are a handful of countries not allowed access crypto, users of other countries would just get their account changed to crypto access (I'm not sure what is this procedure).

Sorry for the long question. The issue is that totally impossible to install Firefox 9.0.1, so it can be used by the two user accounts on this desktop computer. I tried several times to download the update and install when running the second user account. It does not seem to install - page 'About' Watch 'Apply Update' - which then seems to do nothing. When I go to the primary account user Firefox is fully installed and functional.
If files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder of updates\0 and updates or you need to run Firefox once as administrator on each account where the files for the update has been downloaded.
You can also remove active - update.xml, or even updates.xml (stores the history of update).- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Update works not properly)
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
The "Application Data" in XP/Win2K folder and the folder "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

'Lost' admin user account - cannot use the system restore
We have an old desktop running XP Media. At 6 accounts on - account admin 1 parent, 4 other named accts (non admin) and 1 guest (non admin)
The system is somehow now starts only showing 1 user account - non-admin one child one. In management of the computer (administrative tools), accounts are but are not accessible.
Have no idea how to access / info. Unable to use System Restore as one account stated is a non-admin one.
Can someone help, please? -have been Googling for a few hours now :(
As a last resort, you can try the following procedure:
"How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >Which essentially restores the registry from a backup copy kept with the files in system restore. In part 2, select a dated folder until you have had this problem to copy the registry of the. Personally, I find it is easier to start from free Linux Livecd like Knoppix , in which case you can start the procedure in part 2, step 6 using Linux and paste to copy files to their desired location. Live CD of Linux has no problems with dealing with the status of "Super hidden" System Volume Information folder.
Good luck and HTH,

New user account, cannot access documents
You are using windows vista home, I opened a new account and left the old account as the administrator account. Now, in the new user account, I don't have the documents. How can I get new access to user account for all of the documents that were already on the computer? Now, just the administrator can access them.
You are using windows vista home, I opened a new account and left the old account as the administrator account. Now, in the new user account, I don't have the documents. How can I get new access to user account for all of the documents that were already on the computer? Now, just the administrator can access them.
In each user account, there is a PUBLIC folder.
Public folders are open (accessible) to all users.
Back to your admin account > transfer document files/records in the Public record > logon for the user account > go to the Public folder > you should see all the documents.
How to "transfer" documents in the Public folder?
You can use one of the following methods...1. drag and Drop option.
2 copy and paste option.
3. copy to or move to the right click options.
* My favorite is the options copy to or Move To.
If you don't have them in your context menu, here is the tutorial to add.

A user account cannot run a .exe, only to get hold to open/save.
A user account running on this PC suddenly can't startup such as IE applications, Solutions from HP, widget bar displaying stopped, etc. could be a virus, the user compained about nagging holdup to install virus protection, even if we have MacAfee in place and fine workmanship, all protections in place. Double click on IE icon to start and gets the heist to open or save the .exe file. How should I do? I'm an admin, but I don't see a way to solve this problem in the mapping of types of files/mimetypes.
Hi Iluvtunes,
This could be a problem with the corruption of the user profiles, because this issue is not with the other user accounts. I suggest to create a new user and check if the problem persists.
Steps to create a new user profile.
- Open a user account by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.
- Click Manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
- Click create a new account.
- Type the name that you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click create an account.
If the new user account works fine, then you can copy all the files to the new user profile.
