My laptop always tells me that I am user of 'limited' and I need to log in as an administrator. I am the only user of this computer at home, and I can't find out how this action.
Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
If you had only one user account, it originally was an administrator, and he has now suddenly become Standard see methods below. After return you to the system scan for malware because these things happen not magically by themselves. You will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account and make your changes. See the end of this post for the recommended user configuration.
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
1 boot without failure. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the menu on the right where you can use your arrow key to select Mode safe [Enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated. If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure. Login to the administrator.
2 If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled so you will need to work more. If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:
NET user administrator / Active: Yes [Enter]
[Note: do not enter the brackets!]
If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Or you can do a repair file Vista bootable DVD in this link:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need the third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com ) to burn the .iso image image file, not in the form of data.
Now remove the rescue CD/DVD, you have done, reboot Windows and log on to the built-in Administrator account, you enabled.
After getting things sorted, login to a different administrative account (see recommendations below) and disable the administrator built-in again for security reasons.
Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:
NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]
Exit the command prompt.
General recommendations for creating users in Vista:
You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.
In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.
The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.
If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:
Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC
Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

Updates will not work as C drive is full and I can't find out how to change the default drive?
My "C" drive is it is full and I don't know what programs and files should be able to uninstall unused programs. Those that I was able to uninstall I was doing ground but that's left, I don't know what are the components.
This has affected security downloads and as a result, I am currently without protection.
The Firefox version I'm currently using is 40.0.2 as the update might fail for lack of room.
How to fix this and get my computer working properly / so far, I am at a loss?
Is it possible to move the programs to other readers?
Is this something that I'll be able to fix it with help or do I have to take someone who knows what they are doing?You must ensure that there is enough space on the Windows system drive (drive C) to ensure the proper functioning.
You can check if you can move (uninstall and reinstall) some programs in another drive and possibly move on data as well.
You can also check the Windows temp (% RPM, variable environment % TEMP %) to see if you can clean up files there.You can perform a custom Setup with most programs including Firefox to specify the installation folder.

I bought Lightroom 5 of B & H Photo a few months ago and since then have now upgraded computers. This new computer doesn't have a hard drive and I can't figure out how to download it on my new computer. I must not have created an Adobe account when I initially purchased and downloaded on my other computer. How can I still download it if the serial number does not appear in my plans and products page? I still have the drive and everything that came with it.
Hello
Please download the Lightroom 5 application from the link below.

When I type the text in the latest Illustrator, the text is in a white box. I never had this problem before. I can't find out how to make the box go away. What I am doing wrong?
Today I tried to close Illustrator and re-boot the computer. It did not help. I went on a second computer video/graphics/animation and open Illustrator here. I did a few tests, and he managed to create the text without a box. Then, I opened my first computer Illustrator file form. The boxes were there. I tried to type the new text, and the box was there. When I open the file it says something about a missing font and a replacement. I tried to use this area to locate the police but couldn't. It's the default font on Illustrator on the other computer. A variant of Myriad. I tried to type in the text with a different font. No box. The default font selected by the Illustrator has apparently a box. I didn't try to change the font because it was going well, and because I didn't know any font came with a box. At first, I did all of the text, which was on a white background, so I don't see the boxes of cream. When I added the background image of the boxes appeared. If the problem is resolved. It was a font with a box.

HP15-g036cy: How can I find out how much ram I can put in my computer
How can I find out the maximum ram that held my computer
Repair:
It should read a little bit carefully. Since yours is AMD there's a single memory slot and he holds a module up to 8 GB in capacity. See page 1-2
See also page 65, which shows how very difficult to access the memory location it is. You must remove the motherboard.
If your laptop seems slow, it's because he has a very low CPU; the APU E1-2100 of 1.0 GHz AMD. This processor is frankly more like something in a good smartphone or tablet. Increase the RAM probably not make the system faster.
