Installed NEWSid, restarted, now I am obliged in the guest account and can't make admin account or change the guest account.

I had to run NEWSid due to software, I bought and installed (Stardock Objectdock) and required me to restart. Upon reboot, I had the guest account and couldn't change little matter what I tried. Here are things I tried.

(1) goes UAC and by creating an account admin, but when I put a name in the name field, it tells me I have the invalid text when I do.

2) restart in safe mode to create the Admin account or change the parameters of control of the accounts in this way and the same thing happens as a #1.

Reinstall Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit 3) compared to the original, which does nothing to help.

After research, I learned that using NEWSid with Vista causes this problem a lot, but the only solution I found is to use a recovery system disk (the only disc that came with my purchase of the computer has been the Cyberpower restore disc that contains only Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit.

I am at a loss what to do, what I'm in the guest account and can't get out. System Restore did nothing as well until I reinstalled Vista. When I tried to run the system restore, it told me the Volume Shadow service was not working, but as part of the services, it has been set to automatic.

Hi Rizzano,

 

Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

If you are unable to connect to the administrator account, you will be unable to make changes on the computer by using the guest account.

I think you did an in place upgrade which means it replaces the file system and makes no changes to the user account.

You try to activate the construction in the administrator account and check if it works.

If you are able to connect on windows first try to create a new administrator account.

To activate the built-in Administrator account, follow these steps:


1. click Startand type cmd in the Search boxof start.
2. in the list of search results, right-click Guest, and then click run as administrator.
3. When you are prompted by user account control, click continue.
4. at the command prompt, type net user administrator / Active: Yesand then press ENTER.
5. type net user administrator , , and then press ENTER.
Note: Please replace the tag with passwords which you want to set for the administrator account.
6. type exitand press ENTER.
7 log off the current user account.

HOW to: Enable the build-in the administrator account in Windows Vista

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555910

 

If the steps above does not resolve the question suggest that you try to restore the system from the mode or using the disk safe.

To use the Windows recovery environment, you must have the Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation disc. To start the Windows recovery environment, follow these steps:

1.

Insert the installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.

2.

Press a key when you are prompted.

3.

Select a language, time and currency and keyboard or input method, and then click on Next.

4.

Click on your computer repair.

5.

In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click the operating system you want to repair, and then click on Next.

In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click System Restore to restore the operating system to the restore point created before the problem occurred.

Hope this information is useful.

Let me know if it worked.

All the best!

Thanks and greetings

  • TRIED TO INSTALL VISTA SP1 NOW I'M DEAD IN THE WATER

    I am running Vista Home Premium 32-bit on a Dell desktop computer. A month ago, I came across a few major problems with my computer.  I couldn't get out of safe mode, programs are not run properly, blah, blah.  With a lot of help, I finally could get all back to what I thought was normal.  I ran antispyware, antimalware & and with other tweeks & fixed I have not noticed problems for about a week.

    So last night while on the computer, I got the message that Windows is ready to install an important update.  It was SP1.  I usually wait until the middle of the night & let Windows automatically install the updates but I thought why wait, then I started the installation.  He said that it could take several hours, I went to bed and I forgot about it.

    This morning I wake up to see that the monitor is all black except for a single line of printing:
    !! 0xc01a001d! 37354/98242 (\Registry\Machine\components\derivedata...)

    This printing line flickered sort of as he wants, but he was stuck.  I failed to continue or stop so I finally did what was once called an illegal arrest... I don't know if there is a new term for this, but I think you know what I mean.  When I turned my computer back on, I got the message that something caused my computer do not close properly, perhaps a new program or software, and he suggested that I have let Windows find & try to fix the problems.  I clicked on that and the blue bar began to run through the progress window.  He says that it can take several minutes.  Well 2 hours later nothing had changed.  He was always doing exactly the same thing.  He wouldn't let me cancel so I let it run half an hour.  Then I finally made another "illegal stop."  When I turned the computer back on I chose normal startup to the top even if the computer suggested I have start the repair program.

    Now I know whence the line of print that I mentioned before.  The screen was black except that it begins to show all the things that are installed on the computer.  At least, I guess that's what it is.  It was like when your computer is running antispyware or something & all files are being checked.  In any case, it's exactly the same thing that what I pointed out, it was on my computer first thing this morning except that it stopped at 28599/98242.  He has not moved or changed except it flashes as he wants to spend but cannot.

    What is the cause & do - what do I do about it?  Trying to do a system repair did not work & I can't get the computer starts normally then now what?  SP1 is installed on our laptop with no problems.  The only difference is that I let it install automatically.

    Please help before I have eventually throw the top of desk by the window!

    Sandee,

    David advice was correct.

    Read all the info on the link below.

    You need to download the ISO file, I talked to the computer on which you post here, not the broken one!

    It is a repair disc you need to do from this ISO file:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    If yours falls into the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.
    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • HPPhotosmartEssentials.msi and can't make repairs on something that are not installed error

    This prevents the busy when starting windows installer... I reinstalled the HP printing software again and again and I get all green checkmarks with the diagnosis of HP, the eq seems to work perfectly.  When pointing the file in a temporary folder, it is said cannot perform repairs on something that is not installed. When you point to the .msi on the original disk file, it does nothing. WHAT ARE THE XP REGISTRY KEYS TO REMOVE THIS NUISANCE?

    It would be I think that it is somehow a bug in the HP upgrade process that will not remove previous versions. I think I have a hpphotosmartessential version 3.5 open now.

    It's not urgent that I can click cancle 1000 times before windows finally gets the trick.

    I have read enough about it and continued each method to remedy this and I'M NOT GOING through ANOTHER afternoon OF RE - INSTALLING SOFTWARE from THE DISC.

    I expect an HP engineer to answer this before someone else, that says something I've already read, don't.

    This must be a registry entry that is not processed during installation and upgrade.

    Because I didn't misplace the entry or move, I expect you to know where he is and I wish to eliminate or make a change to one of its key...

    Thatnk you in advance!

    Note: Make sure to create a registry backup Open regedit, file > export & save Office

    To access this location:
    Click on start then run type regedit

    Register window opens

    Click on + and then HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Installer/products

    Select any folder under products, then click in the right pane you will see the name of the product (WebFldrs XP) usually where the status, Solution Center, Scan, Destinations and etc. So check each folder under products if you find the name of the product that keeps popping up delete the folder and that will solve the problem or you can use Ctrl + Find and all the msi name box that keeps the popup type & remove the folder itself

    It is the shortest method to solve the problem without uninstalling/reinstalling software.

    If the problem is not resolved it's time, you will need to uninstall/reinstall the software.

    got a virus so installed norton anti during the audit, that he hung so I rebooted now I get almost to the login screen and it restarts with a short flash of a blue screen. When I tried in safe mode, I get a blue screen with a message that I could have a corrupted file and install, but since I can't charge xp that would be difficult. access to recovery and have done fixboot, chkdsk/p, and bootdfg / r and it detects a bad file but doesn't seem to trouble. did not have a fixmbr because there a clone install so not sure if that would make it useless as it puts warning... try not to reinstall and lose data and software... tks

    nvmarv,
    I suggest to try a repair installation as described in this article.  Or you can perform a parallel installation as explained in the Windows XP Installation Options.  None of these methods will erase the data.  The parallel install Windows to a different folder so that your information will be saved by you will need to reinstall your programs.

Option 'Yes' restarts my computer & the attempts to Firefox, I get the same message. Reboot several times has no effect. The option 'no' closes the file and nothing happens. Running XP Pro version 2002 SP 3. All normal programs have been updated to the current date (Adobe, Java, etc.).

    Do a cleaning (re) install and delete the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox if possible.

  • How to stop Windows Update to take keyboard focus, when you are asked "do you want to restart now?

    Windows Update often wants to restart the computer after an update.  If you say "not now" (or ignore?), he will later pop up a question "reboot now?" in a bubble of task bar.  INCREDIBLY, it will at that time take keyboard focus of everything that happens and then accept what he gets as a response from the user.  This means that if the user was in the middle of typing something, the following sequence of keys will enter the bubble "you want to restart" instead of some request the user was in the middle of the help.  It's very bad.

    Here is what just happened to me.  I was in the middle of typing a document when the keyboard focus was suddenly taken by the issue of recovery, a fraction of a second later, the following combination of keys, he disappeared - I have no idea what hit it.  Fortunately, I saw the flash and guess what had happened and quickly you press 'save' on my request.  A few seconds later, my application has been closed as the machine restarted.

    I think that the bubble of Windows Update SHOULD NOT STEAL the KEYBOARD FOCUS.  I think it's dangerous and bad design.

    What is the best way to communicate this suggestion to the team of Windows Update?

    Is there a setting to stop Windows Update to do this?  (Stop stealing keyboard focus)

    None of us are obstruction you. If we knew a way to avoid this problem (problem), we would have mentioned it earlier in this thread.

    You aren't the first person to complain about this and I'm sure you won't be the last. According to Microsoft, you have two options:

    As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

    Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    Learned what was this upgrade and what that they upgrade/do to the system?

    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?
    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
    Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?
    What do not you think that you should see?
    Your system seems to start OK and then crash or didn't he start not at all?
    If your system works fine, what do you think might have changed since the last time it worked correctly?
    Can you make the system crash when you want?  For example, you would say that there is no specific system activity that coincides with the accidents (like watching videos, playing games, etc.).

    The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:
    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).
    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.
    If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.
    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.
    Now provide more information about your system and data against more recent accidents.
    Click Start, run and enter in the box:
    Msinfo32
    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.
    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.
    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.
    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.
    Download BlueScreenView here (WhoCrashed is OK, but I have instructions for ASB).
    Unzip it and run it (BSV installs nothing) and let him complete the digitization of all your crash dump files.
    If you double-click on depressed, you will get information on it (including the field caused by the driver) and you should be able to spot the problem right away - especially if you see a model in landfills where Caused by field pilot is the same (beginning with this driver).
    BlueScreenView tries to find the right driver or module that caused the blue screen by looking inside the stack of the accident. However, be aware that the driver detection mechanism is not 100% reliable, and you should also look in the lower pane, that display all drivers/modules found in the stack.

    Sometimes BlueScreenView will involve XP files as being the cause of the accident (ntoskrl.exe, win32k.sys, hal.dll etc.) but they are probably not the real cause of the accident (BSV is doing the best he can).  You will need to either pick up some example crashes over and look through them, or find somewhere the XP files are not the 'cause' or you can upload your files to your SkyDrive crash dump and someone with the windows debugging tools can help take a look at them more closely.

    Select (highlight) one or more of the most recent dump files by clicking on them and hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files.  Try to select only the most recent links that relate to your problem (perhaps five or six to start dump files).
    Click on file, save selected items and save information from the dumps to a text file on your desktop called BSOD.txt.

    Open BSOD.txt with a text editor Notepad, WordPad, etc.), select all (Ctrl-A), copy all the text in the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl-C) and paste the text to the Clipboard (Ctrl-V) back here in your next reply.

    Here's an example of report ASB to a single BSOD I initiated on purpose that indicates the cause of the accident as the pilot i8042prt.sys belonging to Microsoft Corporation:

    Send the information of the last 5 memory dumps (if you don't have 5 memory dumps yet, send the newest, you have).

    If you want to load your crash dumps on your SkyDrive, you must also read this:

    Once you get your downloaded files and watch them on your SkyDrive, you need to 'share' your folders/files so that others can see them.

    Here is a link that tells you how to:
    http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-SkyDrive-change-access-permissions-FAQ

    Then click on the button "insert a link".  When you click on that, a window opens that contains the link to your SkyDrive files.

    Copy the contents of the box "copy this link to share:" in selecting the content of the link (it will be all highlighted), press Ctrl + C (copy) and then come back to the forum and in your next message, press Ctrl + V to paste the contents of the link back here.

    What you paste the return will look something like this link on my SkyDrive:
