Unable to set Parental controls

Help! I can't set the Parental controls! I followed the steps several times for several months! (Have given up a number of times)... after I signed the window live and selected the standard user account, I want to monitor, it says 'save' or 'Cancel '... I 'save' (obviously), and then a box pops up saying "Please wait while we set up the family safety..." This box (with its green - indicator light-saber, which goes from left to right, left to right, left to right) continues to go left right, left right, left right, for, literally HOURS.  Finally, I cancel as you can imagine.  I chose Windows Live as my provider, I looked on all the Help/Support forums.  Help, please!

You said "parental control". It is a program of Windows Live Essentials.

You also said "Parental control", which is usually the own integrated program of Vista.

I guess you meant Family Safety, which belongs to the Windows Live Solution Center.

    Original title: user account with an effort of parental control

    After logging in to my admin account, I created two user accounts for my children, set up parental controls for both that I created, when I tried to set up the third account that he would allow me to activate parental control. It seems that he is trying to load the screen to give me the parental control options then the window disappers and another small window appears saying "cannot make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator. I close the window, and then open the parental controls for other accounts, and they work very well, allows me the chance to change. I deleted the third account several times, making sure to create on behalf of others, just like I did the first two. Still no luck. Can I have only 3 total accounts? My administrator account and standard users 2.

    How can I get a standard user account third with parental controls?

    Hello

    Create a new user account and check if the problem persists, the problem does not persist in the new user account, then fix the damaged user account.

  • How to set parental controls for the zone

    Im trying to set up parental controls for children. I have set up for the clock, but they got smart and started to change the time zone. Does anyone know how to set up parental controls for the time zone... At least the name of the program for the time zone. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    If you have a superior taste of Windows 7 you can / must define the rights to change the time system and time zone via the policy editor gpedit.msc. They are defined in the strategy/Security Settings user rights assignments / Local. Ensure that only administrators and the Local Service can change these settings.

    If you have a taste less then you need to do it via a number of commands in the console, i.e.
    net localgroup
    NTRights users - r seSystemtimePrivilege-u
    NTRights u users - r seTimezonePrivilege

    You can download ntrights.exe here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17657. If you choose this option, you may need to then more detailed instructions. Post again if this is the case.

    Note also that your children are more intelligent, they will find additional methods to bypass your restrictions. If you let me sit in front of your machine then I would be able to do as I please in less than five minutes, without knowing a single password. This means that you may need to solve this problem by teaching ways rather than technical.

  • Can I set parental controls on firefox for a specific user only?

    I use windows 7 and firefox 18.0.2. On my PC, I have my Admin account and my account of children. Now they arrive at an age that they are requiring Internet access for projects and so on, I wonder if I can put parental controls on firefox (by add-on?) as I have on windows, while master's log in to their account, firefox only allows access to what I received. In other words, limit the use of internet ONLY for their account, while I'll still be able to use firefox without restriction. I don't want to use another browser that I ' m not as familiar with just so I can put a parental control over everything on this browser. Any ideas?

    It did the trick. You can restrict any program or browser to their liking. Although I do not have someone else (Microsoft...) do it for me, it works as should be for now. Thank you for your time!

  • Error message when you use the parental controls in Win7: "Unable to change parental controls."

    (1) I try to use the supplied with Windows 7 parent controls. However, every time I make a change to a parental control, I get an error message that says: "cannot change parental controls. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator. »

    Often, once I have clear error message boxes, the changes I made are displayed as changed. Sometimes, however, they are not applied, making these useless parental controls.

    (2) I also have problems establishing parental control measures for one of my children. Whenever I try to open the parental controls for a user account, I get the same message, as described above, then the display returns to my administrator account and does not allow me to add parental controls or change them.

    (3) when he signed then, a message in the lower right corner indicates that it uses a 'temporary' account and that any changes he made will be saved. What is a temporary account, how it is created, and how it can be changed to a normal account?

    Hi Papa_Danno,

    Thank you for keeping us posted.

    If windows was pre installed on the computer, then you must contact the Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the same. If the Windows 7 installation disc was purchased directly from then you can contact Microsoft directly.

    I wish that you follow the steps in the article-

    Installation and reinstallation of Windows 7

    Note: Make sure that you back up all data on the computer before you perform a Clean Installation to avoid any data loss.

    Hope this helps!
