Problems with Windows 7 Starter administrator

I have a HP Mini 200 running Windows 7 Starter.

I try to add a printer to my netbook, but I have been informed that I need administrator permission to install.  I also have a message that connection manager HP does not support guest accounts.

I am aware that I don't have a guest account. I try and remove any additional account in the account settings, but nothing happens.  I tried to change my privelages account but nothing happened.  There is a comments file in C: /.  I seem to be going round in circles.  What I want is to run a printer!

Any advice?

Hello Simon,.

I suggest you to activate the integrated using the command prompt administrator account and try to add the printer in this account and check.

Follow the article to enable the built-in Administrator account.

Enable / disable the administrator account (hidden, built-in) Local in Windows 7.

http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3040.enable-disable-the-local-hidden-built-in-Administrator-account-in-Windows-7.aspx

If you are able to add the printer to the built-in Administrator account. I suggest to create a new account user to the built-in Administrator account.

To create the new user account follow method 2 in my first answer.

Put us up-to-date with the results after you perform these steps. We would be happy to help you further on the issue.

  • Windows XP Installation problem with Windows 7 Starter home

    I was told that I would have no problem of family Windows XP Setup on a new computer comes pre loaded with Windows 7 Starter.

    When I insert the CD with Windows XP, I get the following:

    Run setup.exe

    I click on install Windows XP

    Program is blocked due to compatibility issues.

    Setup cannot continue because the version on the computer is newer than the version on CD.

    Anyone know how to solve this problem and install Windows XP?

    Thank you Don

    Hello

    I understand that you want to install Windows XP on Windows 7 Starter Edition.

    (1) is the retail Windows XP version or OEM version, you are trying to install?

    Unfortunately, this is not possible. As the operating system installed on your computer is newer than the operating system you are trying to install.

    To resolve this problem, you need to do a clean install to install Windows XP, and you try to run Windows 7 Setup, it will not work. So, I suggest you to boot from the XP CD (if necessary, first change the boot order in the BIOS) and follow the instructions for a clean install. It will initially format the drive for you, so make sure you back up everything you don't want to lose to external media first.

    I hope this helps. Try the above steps and get back to us for assistance. We will be happy to help you.

    Hello

    If a computer is only connected to a switch, the automatic configuration is not valid.

    Autoconfiguration applies when a computer is connected to a server that can provide the configuration.

    Wireless routers have a DHCP server that provides a valid IP address.

    Ordinary switch is a transparent network device that cannot provide any configuration.

    When there is no DHCP server, the computer must be configured with a static IP address.

    Look at this page, http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/2009/11/26/windows-7-static-ip/

    Follow the path as described in step 5 (Do not pay attention to specific numbers, your number is to be determined in accordance with your network plan).

    Maybe you want to provide an explanation of what you are trying to reach.

    However, now a Windows Update does not work.  Security Center Windows were told to go to control panel > system and use the Automatic Updates tab.  But, if I go to control panel > system, the Automatic Updates tab does not appear.

    I also went to the control panel > Services.  Tried to start the automatic updates service.  Received this error message: could not start the service automatic updates on Local computer.  Error 126: The specified module could not be found

    In the thread above, I was following the post on 30 August.  According to Option A, I completed step 5 for the uninstallation of McAfee Security.  At this time, my network card has stopped working.  On the recommendation of the officer, I posted to the Malwarebytes forum.  The officer determined Malwarebytes that I don't have a malicious software.  I ended up posting on forum McAfee to get my network card works again.  Then I reinstalled McAfee and start to run Windows Update.

    I started with Option A, step 8 to reset Internet Explorer using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737.  The difficulty it has worked very well.

    Then Option A, step 9 says reset Windows Update using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  When I ran the difficulty in default or aggressive mode, I got an error message saying: he cannot start wuauserv.  The message asks me to verify that the user has privileges to take this step.  Well, I checked through user accounts who am the only one user set up on this PC and I have administrator privileges.  Help me please run this difficulty or recommend another way to get Windows Update works again.

  • Having a problem with Windows Live Mail lock up shortly after the start.

    Having a problem with Windows Live Mail lock up shortly after the start. When I start the Task Manager to end the process, it sometimes freezes and the only way to solve the problem is to disconnect which forces the profile to close. Assuming a corrupted profile, I followed the instructions of Windows support to fix a corrupted profile and copied all the files except ntuser.*. When I try to paste them into the new user profile (all profiles are admins), I get the error message asking if I want to leave to proceed. When I click on continue, all THE files in the profile block "corrupt" to the new one, including ntuser.*, that I was not choosing. Why? If the files are rewritten empty? Tried 3 times, same result. Please notify.

    I think I found it! I went in the Windows Live Forum and found a thread that looked like my problem. He suggested going to msconfig and take off Live Mail list start. I couldn't find it on the list, but the top element was "" default EXE"something of an unknown manufacturer. I took it out of the startup list, and Live Mail works again! Thanks for your help!

  • Problem with Windows Installer (I think)

    Hey I just got a new 'game' PC with all the good things like i7 processor nvidia GTS 250 graphics card. So I guessed I would setup games. Games were installed very well the problems started when I tried to run SteamInstall.msi he looks ready to install for 1 second and then close and nothing happen. Even try to do once again nothing. So I gave up with it.

    Then I installed cod4, codwaw and download for both patches. When I try to install the patches it starts normal and after extractinng saying "" ".msi or msu or something it get stuck on the preparation for installation on both cod4, codwaw games and I think about others too... '".

    So I guess that's my Windows Installer problem... ? Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (problems on SP1 also)

    Yoris,
    I think that if you had a problem with Windows Installer, then you would have also had a problem installing the games themselves.  If after installing just the game, you are able to start the game, then you will need to determine if you really need the patches you install.  If they fix game issues and do not add any content, then you may not even need of patches.  If it turns out that you do not have the patches and they are self extracting\installing files and then save them to your desktop and then right click and select run as administrator and see if that helps.  You can also check with Activision support , because this can be a problem they know.

  • Big problem with Windows XP, IE8

    I have a big problem with windows xp. Many things do not work as they had passed him. For example the personal setting are not recalled from session to session. IE 8 does not funtion properly (icons on the desktop are re-arraged, toolbars cannot be deleted or I'm unable to load pages from the internet). Programs do not work, the files will not open. When I look at my hard C disk folders and files are hidden.

    Recently, IE has been upgraded to IE8 and I installed Norton 360 but I don't mean that they caused the problem. However, whenever the Norton scan executes a "error 8 506 421" stands up and says me that I have to uninstall and re install Norton.» But I lost the ADMIN privileges so I am not able to uninstall or go back to a restore point.

    I can't go in safe mode. Pressing F8 takes me to the quick screen C not the windows safe mode screen. I can't go in safe BOOT mode. INI or the other.

    If I switch to another user, everything seems fine but I don't have ADMIN privileges with this user to be able to make changes.

    Is this a problem with norton? IE8? A virus?

    Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Lost without a computer

    It sounds like you have a corrupted for your user to administrator user profile.

    You may be able to recover using System Restore to restore to a point in time before your problem.  Based on the F8 key, you bring in a command prompt window, try to start restoring the system to the command prompt by using the following procedure:

    "How to start the System Restore tool by using the option of safe mode with prompt theCommand in Windows XP"

    <>https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/304449/en-us >

    If this does not work, you can still be able to recover by performing a check disk to your command prompt window operation (after that you press the F8 key).  Enter the following command:

    CHKDSK c: /R

    If you are in the Recovery Console, it can simply begin, or you may need to restart before it will start.  Corrupt profiles are most often caused by the Corruption of system files, so a chkdsk operation should be performed little matter how you end up recovery.  Note that this can take a few hours to run.

  • I don't even know what to call this problem with Windows 7! Can someone please read and help?

    Hi all

    What is c?

    I have half a dozen problems with Windows 7 right now, but let's start with the most irritating.  Screens disappear and reappear.

    I'll open a window and then open another (at the same time) for a reason, and if I don't have my mouse entirely on whatever the window, it "disappears".  That is, it will become transparent with just sort of 'framework' around him.  The content is gone.  But they come back.  It makes the idea behind 'Windows' laughable.

    And try to block and the copy is a nightmare of one window to the other.  Or even on the same page.  I try to block something and move away, and the "block" disappears.

    I thought it might be my mouse, which is your ordinary Microsoft Optical Mouse 2V.0, I went to devices and printers and formatted my mouse (I've never done this before) and my Microsoft Keyboard and recorded.  Nothing wrong with the keyboard.  The mouse just kept screwing as it did before, and I used your basic standard settings - nothing fancy or different.

    Now I write in this little place and nothing is to move, the mouse behaves - what IS IT?

    I am getting this problem in Windows 7 because honestly, I have no idea where else to put it.

    And I have just started with the problems.  Can you please, please, please help?

    I can't help but think that all the problems are related, so I'll put one little summary of what else is happening.

    1 out of nowhere part, I got a notice saying that I had to change the settings to allow Windows update immediately and without my permission (I think that's what he said and I know that there is a setting in devices and printers? or something like that where I allow edits without review)

    2. I can't convince my printer there is NO residential group and that I am the administrator and the only person using the computer.  This screw with my settings (wired) network too.

    3. I have a four-in-one printer (print, copy, scan and fax).  I am at home lately and will be years apparently, so I decided that I wanted to get the printer scanner and fax.  He was already printing and copying.  I turned off, unplugged and did not know that I had to uninstall all software and then reinstall it.  I don't have the time to do it again; I want a clean computer before you set up the printer.  Well, it seems to create small problems in the world.  I keep getting directed to devices and printers, but I want to read all the information before I uninstall just in case.

    4 modules!  They are the bane of my existence.  I do not understand what they are doing when I go and look at them individually. I tried to use IE10 without addons and it's just a big headache.

    5 constantly getting a yellow banner at the bottom of my screen asking me if I want to run * some * and I wanted to know the risks involved.

    6. constantly asked about Active X.  What is it and what does want of me?

    7. all of a sudden an hour ago, my computer has decided to go to "sleep" mode and wants me to change user for myself and when I do, it says it is locked, but I hit the beautiful image and it opens on the regular Windows screen.  WHY?  I don't use a screen saver and I got 20 minutes sleep mode which is just the entire dark screen until I touch the mouse.  No more!

    Guys do you see why I'm going crazy?  Help, please!  I spend all my days this last week and one before that trying to move things.  All this because I wanted my printer to scan.
