No Admin Access with a single user installation

I use Windows Vista.

I only have a configuration of the user on my computer and handle less it says: I am an administrator of the user accounts. However, I have no access as an administrator. For example, I run msconfig and I get an error message "you don't have sufficient privileges to run the system configuration. Run this utility as a user in the Administrators group. »

I can also activate the option of user account control, remains unchecked, even after I have enable check / he.

Any ideas?

Hey Cory Clapham,.

1. uninstall programs like spybot spyware removal, run malware scans and check.

2. try to perform these steps by activating the built-in Administrator account. This account is disabled in Vista by default.

  • How to open database with a single user connections?

    I have an old forms application that opens a connection to the database with the user name and password typed by the user in the login screen. Therefore, each user of the application has its own user database.

    Traditionally, this application was performed with the client-server model but not it is deployed in server of BCI. We would like therefore to take advantage of the resources of the BCI to open the connection to database with a username/password unique name, which would be set up somewhere on the server and then eliminate some problems of security that we have.

    Is it possible to do this? How can I code the application to obtain/request a new connection and how do I set this up in the server? I wonder if the key 'userid', under the Web Configuration of my instance of forms, should have the password configured.

    Notes:

    • SSO: I am aware of the BCI has UNIQUE authentication features, but we are not interested in SSO now (unless some SSO-related features can help me).
    • authentication: my request would be to validate the name of user and password typed in the login against a specific user directory screen, owner of my company. I didn't need BCI to have capabilities to integrate with my own home directory of the user, because I can code this validation manually and easily in the login screen.

    Thank you

    You can set the connection in the formsweb.cfg as

    UserID=User/Password@sid

    in this way, that the connection is established automatically. Still, it would open a dedicated connection for each user, I don't know if you can use something like a connectionpool on Weblogic.

    Yes, just install as you would normally using the serial number you used initially.

    You do not have to uninstall on the old machine - with your single-user license, you are allowed to have two active facilities.  So feel free to reinstall if these are the only two machine you intend to have on and you would like to have a backup installation.

  • The admin user doesn't have access to the Standard user account files

    OK, I'm lost.  It's crazy.

    After reading the reasons to do most of your work on/as a Standard user, I created a user account (quite a while) and have been using it since--and perhaps the way I did have this problem.

    If I remember correctly, this is how I did it.  I had a LOT of files under my old ID admin, so I created another Admin account and then replaced by former Admin account is a Standard user account.  I have been connected and makes every slot the user account Standard since then, with Windows poping a request my Admin password whenever he needed.

    Today, I needed to change a tax return of 2013 - and when I reloaded TurboTax last year and needed to get the State program, TurboTax wouldn't, claiming that I need to be logged in as an Admin user (I have not the popup asking my Admin password).

    OK, here's the problem.  When I have users to switch to my Admin account, after the passage, almost all the icons on my desktop disappear AND there are only a couple of files in my files of Documents Libraries\Documents\My.

    Everything to go.  I thought as an Admin user, I had access to everything.  How can I get all this stuff back (the icons on the desktop for example and other user account files, etc.)

    When I was logged in as an Admin user, it seemed that I could share files with other Useers - so I thought, Aha, that's how it works.  So I logged on my Standard user account - but the ability to share my files, etc. did not exist, at least as far as I can tell (that is, cannot find this option anywhere).

    If all goes well there is something simple that miss me that things work so that as an Admin user, I have access to other user accounts where - it is supposed to work, isn't.

    Obviously need help.  Thank you.  Ron in round rock

    In fact, I have nothing - as stated in the above comment, I could see all my files and folders User\ron

    -> This either means that the folder is already shared, or that UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on your PC. This isn't a good idea because it exposes your computer at serious risk.

    I can edit, delete, running back, I can't (or maybe since I am the only user on this machine, I should leave him alone).  Just curious as to what I did exactly.

    -> If you have shared with read/write access, you can create/edit/delete the files.

    And finally, as an Admin user, I have only 4 icons in the taskbar (IE, Chrome, Windows Media Player and Windows Explorer) - that doesn't sound right.

    -> You'll get exactly icons you placed here while it is logged on as admin user.

    And really Finally, with regard to the disappearance of all the icons on my desktop when logged in as Admin user.

    Each user has his own profile. Inside the profile, there is the user's desktop. Desktop shortcuts that are visible while connected as user A are not visible when you are logged on as user B because each user has his own office!

    There is one exception: most applications require at installation time if their shortcuts must be visible by all users. If you answer 'Yes', then the shortcuts will go into this common folder: C:\Users\Public\Desktop.

  • With XP, with is three different user accounts, possible to download Firefox 4 for a single user and keep Firefox 3 on the other, for a period of learning?

    We are running XP and have 3 different user desktop accounts. We are very excited about the features of Firefox4, but one user a lot less comfortable with changes and does not want to lose the comfort of navigation in 3 until it had a chance to get used to using 4. May take a while...

    Is it possible to download Firefox 4, perhaps to a new location. Or a new user account. And use that as a "teaching tool" while maintaining the 3?

    Or can we move on 4, re-download a version 3 and import previous bookmarks for this user to new 3 download, until we him uncomfortable.

    The answer is probably not. But if there is a creative way to do that, without another available computer, that would be great. Otherwise, improve us and deal with the frustration and whining here... 4 is too good to pass up.

    Ideas?
    Linda

    When you install Firefox 4, choose the custom installation option and change the install location of Firefox. You'll then 2 versions of Firefox are installed.

    As you have different user accounts, each user will have its own Firefox profile (location where are stored bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You should not pass between the different versions of Firefox with the same user profile. For those who want to use Firefox 4, make sure that you use a Firefox shortcut that opens Firefox 4, even for one who wants to stay with Firefox 3, just keep their shortened origin of Firefox and it should open the old version.
