• Security won't allow me to install a download

  I have parental controls installed on the computer of my nephew and I am trying to install a game for him, Minecraft, I bought.

  I got the game downloaded, but when I go to my downloads and click the icon to open the download and install it, a window will appear with a red "X" saying that settings admin will not allow the configuration of this because of the parental control. I had two of my nephews, the same game for their computers and thought I had the exactly same settings on each computer, but one that enabled me to turn off the parents settings and install the game, but the other does not.

  I disabled the settings parents, even deleted the account for this computer from my parental account, but it still won't allow me to install, even after that I restarted the computer after turning off and remove the parents on their computer settings.

  Is there something that I am missing? What can cause this error?

  You need permission to administrators? Here is how you get it... giving all users the permission to do what is the order of the day you choose.

  First search for the item. then right click and go to properties.

  Go to the Security tab.

  Click Advanced.

  go to the owner tab to see if you are the owner.

  then click on change if you are not.

  enter among consumers, or choose your account and put a check mark on replace the existing owner...

  then close all tabs by clicking ok

  then reopen the properties and go to settings and go to the permissions tab.

  Click on change permissions

  Click on Add.

  type in users, or of your account, and click on the name to check.

  Click ok. Click on the first box saying: full control, and then click ok.

  Now you have all permissions to access the item, and you are the owner of it.

  alternative: If you know the password that you have set up your account, then the user name is the user name you set up, and the password is the password you set up.

• The installer of Windows Vista is not allowing to install or uninstall programs and my laptop came not with a CD/DVD installation, what to do?

  A few days ago I had some problems playing Halo 2. The program itself has suggested that I have reinstall. So, I uninstalled Halo 2 without incident. However, during my attempt to reinstall Halo 2, I received the following Message: redists\vcredist, msi: the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not correctly. Contact your support team. Click Retry to try to complete the step failed, or click Cancel to cancel the installation.

  An error occurred when copying files in the background. An unexpected error has occurred while the application was copy files to your computer. Please try to reinstall the game, or contact customer support if that does not solve the problem.
  After contact with the teams of tech games Halo wasn't any help, solution phone a 1-888-xxx-xxxx, a refund of my game. I am bypassing the conversation that happened because the individual basically blew me off the coast. Run the verification tool file system, basically said that I had a corrupted file, and you run the recovery tool. I did this, but without success. I tried to research on issues such as the best of what I know how, only to discover that I need to use the Setup Windows Vista Home Premium CD/DVD. This is another problem. When my wife bought this laptop, she received only a couple of recovery disks. So with my limited resources, I'm in this river with pots of Earth on one side and on the other hippos and and a thumb in a plum for a paddle.
  I am in great need of a useful solution.
  Thank you...

• OfficeJet 6700 won't allow web services.

  My new officejet 6700 won't allow web services.  I have a good internet connection via a DSL modem/router.  I tried a wired connection and Wi - Fi.  Nothing works.  I can see the printer and the status of ink etc. to the ip address of a computer on the local network.

  sko1947,

  I suggest you set a static ip address of the dns servers and the address of this printer as it has resolved questions like these in the past.

  Before we begin, we need a network with your current connection settings configuration page. To do this, press the arrow to the right and go to settings. From there on, we want to select 'Network', then 'Print Network Configuration.

  After that you have, we will need to access the built-in Web server (EWS) printers. You can do this by entering the IP address of printers (from the Network Setup page) browser press and the address bar type.

  Once there, press the 'Network' tab at the top of the page. From there, you'll want to click on the button "IPv4", on the f-side of the page. It will be there for wireless and wired, so make sure you click the one for you, but you are connected. If you do not see "IPv4", you should see 'Networking', press and press "Network Address (IP).

  Then, you click the small round button next to "Manual"IP address", and then fill in the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway using the information available on the network configuration page.

  For the primary or the preferred DNS server, you will want to enter 8.8.8.8. For secondary school or another DNS server, you will want to write 8.8.4.4.

  Click on apply and when the message appears saying that the changes have been applied, press 'OK '.

  Press the power button on your printer, wait that it completely power off and press it again to power it on.

  After doing this, go ahead and try to reactivate Web Services. It should work now, but if not, let me know and I we can try something else.

  When moving e-mail to a folder, the drop-down list is gray and won't allow any action to be done. How can I fix it in vista 7

  What is Vista 7?
  You are speaking of the right click. Move to folder option is grayed out? You highlight the header of message first? Can drag you messages from one folder to another? (I never use the right-click method).
  If you're talking about Windows Mail in Vista and not something else, try to compact and repair the database.
