I'm an admin but when I select the type of account in the Control Panel, I'm a standard user?

Hello

As the title says.

I noticed this problem because as I tried to save a text file as C: and he said something like "you do not have permission... may save in your documents instead?  And I thought, I'm the only user (and first account) on this laptop so I do not understand why I could not save a file of text darn under C:.

Then I went to control panel, user accounts, and saw on the picture, it showed my icon with the label "administrator under."

HOWEVER, as I clicked on change my account type to make sure that I was an administrator of the computer only a few interesting things / problems arises:

(1) the user standard buble a dabble in... surprising and disconcerting because

-I am the first user, I was able to install programs... do stuff admin... etc.

-He showed administrator under my account on the previous page icon! Why he says that I am not the administrator more?

(2) once I have bubbles in the bubble of the administrator button to change my account type is greyed out. Basically, I can't make me an administrator.

I enabled the administrator account hidden and tried to change my account type it (from standard to administrator) and once again... the same problem.

Help is greatly appreciated!

I know it's an old theread, but I came across the same issue yesterday, then I can save time for future users.

Yes, THIS BEHAVIOR of A NORMAL meaning IS:

-You cannot change the administrator if you already, you can change to the standard

-You cannot change the standard if you are the only administrator.

That's all. Just like a check - try to make yourself the sole administrator (you must hide the built-in Administrator account) and you will see that the bubble of the administrator is marked.

  • Programs disappear from my office and the program from the list but still appear in the control panel

    I use Window XP Home Edition and lately, I've noticed that programs have disappeared off the coast of my office and in the list of programs without allow me to delete them.  Firstly, this came to light when I went to start my virus scan and impossible to locate the icon or in the list of all the programs, but it is in the status bar at the bottom right of the screen. I have since discovered that other software have disappeared and when I will remove and reinstall them using the Control Panel can't do.  And when I tried to back up my data when it came time to burn data on a cd, I got a message asking me to insert a disk. Yes, he asked for a floppy and I couldn't have it burn the disk that was selected at the beginning of the backup.  A couple of days, I got the "blue screen" a couple of times and the computer turns off automatically. Oh yes, one more thing restore to a previous period will not fix the situation. Can someone tell me what is happening?

  • Windows Explorer Crash when using the control panel

    This is the type of an interesting question that happens to me only sporadically and usually only to a cold start.

    When I shut down the computer completely for cleaning or install something, when restarting, open the Control Panel causes Windows Explorer to crash (note that this is not Internet Explorer).

    It restarts immediately, but I lost some of the icons in the taskbar - especially the icon Sound Max.

    If I do a reboot it comes back and I can use the Control Panel normally. Tried to remove items from the start menu, as obviously something is in conflict when it starts but it is like shooting in the dark to find the good start. I even reinstalled W7 with a lot of attention, but it happens once again from time to time. I ran sfc/scannow several times and all is well.

    As long as I don't do a cold reboot it will work very well for weeks without a hitch. (Please no comments about just don't).

    Someone else has a similar problem? My specs are lower and it has not changed when I updated to the latest version of the bios so I suspect something on W7, and I strongly suspect the driver SoundMax which is in fact very old for W7X64.

    All updates are underway, including the latest which was supposed to increase stability for W7 X 64. I had added this update 4/28. An accident 29/4 good. I uninstalled the update and re-installed directly from the microsoft link. Sometimes it works, but not in this case.

    I studied all the information mentioned in the error codes and most of the time, it led to speculation of different people to different causes. I've read that it could be a conflict with the driver Sound Max, this is why I suspect as well that it might involve the Nvidia GPU driver. Changed the GPU driver and no joy. Whenever I have ask W7 to check a solution that is not found. So, it happens once in a while, but there is nothing wrong? At least Microsoft knows something is happening--evidence of the update.

    Sorry about that. Using pages have been updated for the new 'add a device' addresses in Firefox 4, but the add-on for Firefox 3.6 is still using an older, different process.

    You can download Firefox 4 release candidate here and use the new "easy installation" process described in the help pages: http://firefox.com/rc

    Or if you prefer to stay with Firefox 3.6, so instead of clicking 'Add a device' on your computer, press the 'Connect' button on your phone or other device, and then click "I'm not near my computer...". "and enter your email address and password sync key.

Help!

    Hi, Arghbee1.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    I understand that you are unable to AirPlay from your Mac to your Apple TV.  Here are some troubleshooting steps that I recommend to go through this problem.

    Get help

    If you do not see the AirPlay icon , make sure that your Apple TV is awake and that it meets the system requirements.

    If you do not see your Apple TV in the AirPlay menu, make sure that your Mac and Apple TV comply with the system requirementsand your software from the Apple TV is updated. Also check your firewall settings:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click the Firewall tab.
    2. Click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password.
    3. Click Firewall Options.
    4. Deselect the option "block all incoming connections".
    5. Select the option "automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections.

    If your office does not look great on your HDTV, high-definition TV could apply image quality improvements that are not the best for the computer images. Check the manual of your HDTV for more information on how to adjust your HDTV settings for use with a computer. Your HD TV could offer a more appropriate display mode, such as the computer or game mode mode. Also try adjusting the HDTV settings like sharpness, retail building and noise reduction.

    If you mirror your screen and the image correspond to your HDTV screen, you can adjust the size of the Office for the best image. Click the AirPlay icon, and then select an option under "game size desk to." If you fit to desktop size to your Apple TV, the image fills the screen HDTV but will not look as good on your Mac screen. Learn more about overscan and underscan and what you can do about it.

    If AirPlay disconnects itself, your wireless network can be too busy or have too many wireless interference to maintain the connection of the antenna. Learn how to solve the problems of Wi-Fi connectivity. The manual of your router network may have additional suggestions for maintaining a strong and fast connection with your devices.
