I recently got a computer from my place of work, but I just can't unstall or install programs unless I have an administrator password and nobody at work knows what it is.

I recently got a computer from my place of work, but I just can't unstall or install programs unless I have an administrator password and nobody at work knows what it is. Also I get error code 80072F8F

Log in safe mode as administrator mode without failure not as a user with the Administrors rights and hope that the Admimistrator log doesn't have bee password protected i.e. you just press ENTER. If create a new user account for yourself.

Have you received a Windows XP CD with the computer?

    I have problems since I changed my computer from vista to windows7... Sites game requiring shockwave remains... I get knocked off line every few minutes... Why? How can I stop this?

    Hot4Lefteris,
    The first thing I would say (if you have not already done) is to ensure that you have the latest version of Shockwave installed.  If you have still a problem, I would like to run IE without Add-ons and then put only the module Shockwave Player and the test.  Also, follow the other steps listed here and post back with the results.

  • I have an old computer from Compaq with Windows 98 on it. Can I upgrade to Windows XP?

    I have an old Compaq that win98, I install Win XP on it? and it is quite easy to do?

    original title: the WINDOWS UPGRADE

    Check that the disc does not have OEM on it, and you have a bet to level or retail key to go with it.

    You should be able to run the install from Windows 98. If this is not possible your computer does not support boot from CD, you may need to run the install with a floppy disk.

  • When I try to connect to my router wirelessly from my laptop and the room, he asks for my network key and I don't know what it is.

    my brother used to all our computer equipment set up and he died last year. Well when I moved and tried to get into my new place it will not allow me without a network/wpa key. I know that I am trying to connect to my router and not my neighbors because when I unplug it it's the only name that disappears from the list of wireless networks. How can I know what is the network key or even set up a new? I am a bit technologically with faculties weakened to get detailed instructions on how to help me would be appreciated, but any help would be great.

    I'm sorry for your loss. Since we do not know how your brother to set up the router, it would be better to start again just to make sure that your wireless network is secure. Reset the default router. This is usually done with the wired router (on) by pressing a small button on the back or the bottom of the router, now the button for about 30 seconds and then let go. You can find the manual on the router mftr's Web site. your router if you need it.

    Once you have reset the router to default, set up correctly:

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

    I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

    Hi Bill,

    To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

    As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
