My UN-admined me computer and I am the single user account. What can I do?

As it is said... one day I will use my computer and BAM! Limited account. I need to be able to install things. I'm the only account on the computer. Is there something I can do?

It turns out that when I had the company on a friend of mine has decided to be... mischievous.

In any case, I remembered the administrator user that I did when I installed Windows... so yes, connected with this, re-admined me and deleted my friend's account did.

  • I have 1 computer and I'm the only user - why are multiple users?

    Hello

    I don't know much about computers and terminology.  BIG PROBLEM.  I'm the only person on my computer, I'm not on any kind of 'network' or 'homegroup '... I constantly have problems that lead me to believe that someone has hacked my computer.  I honestly don't know how anyone could do this, but I have a few very strange settings, and I can't change!

    Under group or user names there are 4 names.  That's what I don't understand.  Should not be a single because I'm (or should be) the only person who has access to my computer?

    There are very suspicious files, folders and stuff on my computer and I have noticed in My Documents folder, there are a lot of files known as JScript Script file (js).   I have hundreds (or thousands) of strange files and folders I can't open or delete!  I can't believe that this is normal!  I have Norton and scans lift you own.

    I am extremely concerned because there is no one in my life, 'A', who has been personally harassing and stalking me for over a year.  I have received and continue to receive hundreds of pornographic and annoying emails (sent in an anonymous way), I am constantly being registered for most pornographic sites, and the list goes on and.  She has even copied pictures of me to my websites legitimate and used for its own purposes - essentially to embarrass me.

    This is driving me CRAZY!  And Yes, this person has always been incredibly hateful and full of a strange kind of "vengeance."  The police are without help.  The district attorney has been without help.

    My basic question is - am I paranoid, or is my computer to access remotely?

    I'd appreciate any help, comments, opinions, and others.  Thanks in advance.

    Here's how you can run a robust show:

    • Guest account . Keep him inactive.
    • Account named 'Administrator' : keep it inactive. It is too easy for hackers to guess.
    • Your own account : keep active and use a non-empty password. Some people recommend that there not administrator privileges. Mine is but then I practice "Safe Hex" (see below).
    • Save the account : every day I deal with messages from people whose password no longer works for some reason any. They are locked permanently from their computer. Have a backup with privileges to administrator account, it's a very easy way to work around this problem, as long as you keep a paper of the account folder.

    About your computer after having been hacked: it's impossible for me to say. You must have machine examined by an expert. If you have reason to believe that it has been hacked, then you must format the disk and reload Windows from scratch. The following measures would make it virtually impossible for a hacker to access your machine:

    • Use a hardware firewall to your Internet connection, such as a router.
    • Keep your Windows Firewall active at all times.
    • Keep your scanner active virus and up to date.
    • Be careful with attachments, especially those from strangers. They might be infected.
    • Even for drives flash you receive.
    • Be careful clicking on links on suspicious sites, especially those associated with pornographic, gambling and high pressure, selling content.
  • Troubleshooting slow running under a user account from Win7 machine and normally with the other user accounts on same (or other) third-party app

    Hoping that this is not too off-topic, but I'm really running out of ideas...

    I have this trading program full license (TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 4.2) who has worked on my Win7/64 for several months, and in recent weeks, has become excruciatingly slow for every user interaction (but not for real computing), making it essentially unusable (1'30 to launch vs 3 normally, 30 "seconds waiting to launch a 'new project' vs.)<1s normally,="">

    When 'pending' launch application or respond to a command, 12% of the full CPU (8 logical cores on CPU Core i7 third Gen) is used by a single process: the offending application (look at the Task Manager, 1 logical core is used to +/-80%, a second for about 15% of this process). All other processes are still at 0% CPU usage.

    Of course, I tried & tested many things including full-/ re-installation of the application with a careful cleaning etc., corresponding registry entries software disabling AV (Avira free), .net Framework Repair Tool, etc... no change! The disc has been checked and is OK.

    Some interesting tips:

    This app worked fine for several months before the problem started abruptly a few weeks; I tried to uninstall .net Framework 4.5 updates to a date prior to the date of beginning of apparent problem, does not; I came back to an earlier version of the offending software: no change.

    But the most interesting observation is that the app works well at the launch of any other user account on the same machine Win7/64 (whether with the normal credentials or admin), so for me that means there should be no conflict of software on the computer, only something in my profile of the main user who causes the app behave so slowly.

    At this point, the Helpdesk of the seller looks distraught - too.

    Suggestions for troubleshooting?

    BTW: I consider that this computer is well managed, and no rogue or untrusted app sleeps there. my main profile is fairly heavily customized for my work, so I want to avoid workaround last resort would be to create a new user account as work environment main (besides the fact that I hate not to find the root cause of the problem)

    Hello

    Given that this problem is specific to the user's profile. I suspect that some programs that are installed or some settings in the profile translates into this problem. You can fix a corrupted user profile by following the steps in this article:

  • Can open Firefox XPCOM file is missing. He can either uninstall and cannot download the new exe. What can I do?

    Equipped with Windows Vista. Stop down my PC two day and when I booted up it would not start. Click on the button of power again and it started in safe mode and asked me to run a repair program that I made. After that Firefox does not open and I get the message "XPCOM is missing." everything else works. Tried to uninstall Firefox and cannot do it either. the uninstaller from Control Panel does not work and I found the Mozilla Firefox uninstall Help files and which will not be executed. I get the windows on the screen asking me to continue, or cancel and when I hit continue the dialog box just disappears and nothing happens. Can not download Firefox exe file again. I am running Trend Micro security PC.

    You need to reinstall, you don't, because none of your bookmarks, history etc. WILL NOT BE LOST.
    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
  • Limit the control panel and IE for the Standard user account

    I'll set up a new computer for a 91 year old customer in a retirement home, who don't use the computer for e-mail and an occasional Wordpad document.  His son wants to put computer in place so that it cannot get to the Internet Explorer browser, or go to control panel, because he bumbles around the keyboard causing all sorts of problems requiring frequent service for me calls.

    The operating system is Windows Vista Home BASIC, so gpedit.msc is not installed.  I have activated the system administrator account for my use when I am called to repair the computer and set the Standard user to user account.  The problem is that the only way I found to disable IE and the Control Panel causes them be turned off in BOTH accounts.  I wish I could disable them ONLY in the user account.

    The only solution I found to disable the control panel is a registry hack in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current versionpolicies where I put a DWORD 32-bit "NoControlPanel" with a value of 1.  I tried to do that in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive, but it had no effect.  This kind of work, but there are two problems then; Mises_a_jour Windows 1) won't install and 2) when I have to go to work on the computer, I first change administrator user, then change the DWORD value to 0 and finally to restart the computer, causing additional assignments, lengthen my time at work.

    Second, the only solution I could find to disable IE was in the default protrams Panel, which disables the administrator as well.

    Can someone tell me if there is another way to achieve this, while IE and control panel are disabled only for the user?

    Change the security to the IE executable rights? Remove 'Users', while you keep the administrator rights.

    For control panel see 'Method Two' in this link:

    "creacontech" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

    Thanks for your response, but will not solve problem of this "gentleman". The object is not so much to limit internet access, as it should restrict access to programs.  He is 91 years old, has small hands and types rapidly with two fingers, but made many mistakes.  Disability is before everything to prevent clikety snap everywhere, because he creates sort of a zillion copies shortcuts of the webpage on his desk, until everything hangs and I have to go a push up on his mess. The same reason applies to the Contorl Panel.  We don't want it to be able to get to the Panel "printers."  When a document will not be printed for a reason, he go, dummy click around and created a bunch of copies of the printer, with a gazillian of documents clogged up in the queue of the coil.  I had to cclear up to 100 documents from the spool on 50 copies printer queue.  It's really an economic problem for his son.

  • Recently, I had to create a new user profile on my computer and am currently loaded with my accounting software of the migration to the new profile.

    I am hoping there is a simpler alternative to migrate my work in lightroom, as if it were a new computer.  The paths are the same.

    I am a little disappointed because I thought at the very least, to logging into the software would reach out to the cloud and find my complete collections.

    After all, I can view on my mobile.

    In any case, I just want to get my work without having to do another import.   There must be a reason behind these weekly backups right?  Is there a way to recover them?

    on windows 7 starter edition how can I open an admin account, I have a standart account and I couldn't open any software on computer please help me.even change user account cannot be opened.

    Hi kuentin,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    (1) - what do you mean you have only 1 user account?

    When you set up Windows, you will need to create a user account. This account is an administrator account to allow you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use. And that's why the user account you are using is the administrator account.

    There is no way that you can create an administrator account, or by using a Standard account.

    (2) are you having issues during installation of the software or opening it?

    (3) what exactly happens when you try to open the software application?

    (4) should be codes error or error messages, if any?

    (5) what software are you trying to install or open?

    I suggest you go to the link below and read for more information on user accounts.

  • have a lenovo G570 computer and recently lost the cd/dvd drive. What can I do to reinstall?

    The cd/dvd drive used to work properly. Now when I put a cd or dvd, it will not engage or start. I can hear him enter and try to start.
    When you click on my computer, the drive does not appear.
    Don't know how it disappeared. Could be that some Windows Update? or when I installed the new kaspersky (do not think that it was really a cause)
    Not a Moody person so don't know what else to do. I did go back and do a restore, but that did not help.
    Given that the drive does not work I can not use the original disk, I created when I got the computer. Computer is about 2 years old... maybe a little less.

    Oh, the only other possible cause I can think of is when I was wrong with my browser and load my att yahoo account. A representative of ATT spocked in my computer and worked behind the scenes to fix. Has they deleted my firefox and temporary files. Unfortunately I do not know exactly when I lost the cd/dvd drive. At this time, but I can't say for sure.

    Let me know if there is something other information that you may need to help solve the problem. Thank you!

    Try to scan your computer with RadarSync to find out if your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver is out of date or not. You can go for the free version. Once find you that it's really an outdated driver can cause the problem, then you can update the driver by searching in Google it or let the software do it for you.

    I hope this helps!
