Impossible to activate the secure connection

I have a fresh install of Vista Business (32) preloaded on my new laptop Acer TM 5530.

I read help for 'Enable or disable a secure connection (CTRL + ALT + DELETE)', which says:

  1. Click to open advanced user accounts. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  2. Click the Advanced tab, select users must press Ctrl + Alt + Delete check box, and then click OK.

I'm in the built-in administrator ID.

I followed the instructions, but "Ask users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete" is gray on the Ant, the checkbox is not accessible.

What should I do?

Hello SHCA,.

Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum.  This happens usually when your account does not have a password.  To create a password to do the following:

1.

Open accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, and then clicking user accounts.

2.

Click create a password for your account.

Note If your user account already has a password, you can change your password by clicking change your password.

3.

Type the password in the new password box, and then retype the password in the new password confirmation box.

4.

If you do not use a password hint, type the suspicion in the box of the indication of password .

5.

Click create password.

It is important to keep your computer as secure as possible. One way to do is to allow a secure connection so that you are required to press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to log on. Using a secure connection provides an extra layer of security for your computer by ensuring that the authentic Windows logon screen appears. When a secure connection is enabled, no other programs (for example, a virus or a spyware) can intercept your user name and password when you enter it.

   
 

1.

Click the Start button, type netplwiz in the search box and press ENTER.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

2.

Click the Advanced tab, check the box users need to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete , and then click OK.

  • Satellite L505-13F - impossible to activate the wireless connection

    Hello, I have connectivity problems with my Satellite L505-13F.

    I can't turn on the wireless connection. I press Fn + F8 and nothing happens. The indicator at the bottom of the laptom turns on.

    I though this would be a problem with the drivers. I downloaded realtek wlan driver here [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads], but it has not installed correctly. Then I used the toshiba software installer, but yet again, nothing has changed. I have Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.

    Device management, I have seen that I installed a wifi driver. (Realtek RTL8191SE Wirelless Lan...) So, what the problem is?

    Any suggestions?

    Hey,.

    Something happens if you press other keys FN or FN + F8 doesn't work only? Normally with this key combination you can enable/disable wireless network card.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know what happens if you are looking for WLAN networks. You see your WLAN router?

    If all the keys FN n t work, reinstall the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards. Otherwise, it could be another problem and you should reinstall the driver again and make sure the firewall isn't blocking the connection.

    See you soon

  • Impossible to activate the wireless connection

    I have an Inspiron 1012 mini. A week ago, it worked fine and I was able to connect to the internet. Now I can't turn on wireless. Using Device Manager, I see that the Radio is enabled. However, when I use the network LOCAL utility, to toggle the checkbox is disabled and grayed out so that I can not change it. By the suggestions of the other forums, I tried fn/F2 but nothing happens. Is it a hardware problem with my wireless card, or is there something that I am missing?

    Gambler1,

    Sorry we could not find the exact cause of your problem. Please be careful when you download updates from Windows. Maybe one of them has caused some of the problem.

    Take care

  • Discover the State of the agent (16) composer initialization error: impossible to activate the license of the software (expected 1650 seconds)

    Hello

    I have problem in View 4.5. When I create the new office with Windows 7 32 bit pool, pool automatic, floating, connected clone, fast prep. After the deployment of Windows 7 machines they had to customize report. After a few minutes's status has changed error (error state View Composer agent initialization (16): impossible to activate the license of the software (expected 1650 seconds))

    Could you please help me, where is the problem?

    I bought licenses for the view with the composer.

    My environment are:

    2 x vCenter server 4.0.0 build 258672 (windows 2008 r2 + Composer 2.5.0 - 291081)

    4 x 4 ESX u2 (2xESX by vCenter server)

    2 x display connection servers x86_64 - 4.5.0 - 293049 (Windows 2008r2) as a single environment. View environment using the server vCenter + 2 composers

    Thank you

    You have KMS license in effect for your Windows 7 Machines.  If this isn't the case, that is the question.

    You have 4 options:

    Option 1: Get KMS licenses in place for Microsoft Win7. -by far the easiest.

    Option 2: Use SYSPREP instead of QuickPrep

    Option 3: Add 1 at a time and activate the link manually clones b4 customization finishes - pain in the rear. Or be creative if it's your test env.

    Option 4: Hack the key "reg" activate this supossedly a composer. Here is the info:

    HKLMsystem/CurrentControlSet/services/vmware-viewcomposer-ga/SkipLicenseActivation to '1'.

    Of course the Win7 Office will be up to the period-eval evaluation mode expires but can be useful in a temporary unit or POC.

    The foregoing is not tested I tried it in my environment but do not know if it works because I don't want to mess with my installing any further until my POC is complete.  But it seems to work.  I found no key but went ahead and created.  Seems to work.

    How to activate the bluetooth connection?

    Hello

    First check to see if your computer supports BT
    If the laptop supports BT, then you should find a BT tag at the bottom of the unit.
    If there is no label then your machine was not equipped with internal BT module!

    If the laptop supports BT, then use the FN + F8 key to go to the BT
    Then BT should start installation and configuration.

  • T410 Impossible to activate chip Security TPM 2539-CTO

    I have a T410 (2539-CTO) and I can't find a way to activate the security chip in the BIOS.  On the "Security chip" BIOS page, this shows that the "present value" is inactive.  However, the possibility of '[Enter]' to change settings is grayed out.

    I was under the impression that the T410 should have security built in chip. Is it not the case?  Or something is wrong with this device?

  • Oracle DB 11.2.0.4: Impossible to activate the table lock after having stopped it

    Hello

    I use Oracle Database 11.2.0.4.

    After reading the documentation on how to prevent unwanted table DDL statement.

    I found a way to do this in by issuing 'edit the table < table_name > disable table lock'.

    Turn it off doesn't work, however I can not re - activate.

    The error message is:

    ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified or timeout expired

    I want to activate the lock, because I need to add new columns to this table.

    I was digging on several threads that have the same problem as mine. But none of them gives any acceptable solution.

    Impossible to activate the table lock after disablng it

    ALTER table enable table lock blocking

    However, a poster responds by quoting the documentation that says: (Note: I can't find what doc says)

    'Specify the TABLE LOCK ACTIVATE to activate the table locking, allowing operations on the table DDL. All currently process transactions must commit or roll before Oracle database allows table locking. »


    By the way:

    1. the table is mine and nobody knows there are (therefore, it would be just me which undoubtedly make any DML at it, and I did not).

    2. I've disabled the lock table months ago and tried to turn it back on because I want to add the new column to the table.


    It means that I have to wait for that "ALL transactions running" happening on the current scheme being validated or cancelled?

    The table itself is located on the stops and never schema of production on which transactions take place continuously.


    Is it true that Oracle expects all execute transactions? Is it known bug?

    Why would Oracle wait as all transactions which has nothing to do with the underlying table?

    Is there no workaround solution to solve this?


    Note:

    I tried to deactivate - activate the table locking on the development database (which has less transaction) and it works fine.


    Kind regards
