Vista administrator privileges is FUBAR, can help you with suggestions.

OK, so here is the story.

I have a homemade PC for my teenagers. It became slow and bogged down
down (they really loaded it with garbage)... then I copied off
important documents and did a clean install with Windows Vista Edition basic family.

I created my daughter as the only user (by default).

After that all updates and things were running, they decided
that they both wanted to separate accounts, no problem.

So I made a user for my son, so I thought I better protect this PC a
little and made myself a user account as well.

I then used my administrator account by default girls to change user
parameters and give me administrator privileges.

I then changed its settings to remove administrator privileges.

Restart and voila, all together, no?

Evil.

The system only allows me to perform administrator functions
When you are connected to my user account, I have no idea why.

The worst thing is that it also does not allow my daughters user account
to have an Administrator privelages.

Basically, he couldn't give me admin privelages and yet correctly
removed his admin privelages.

Therefore, I can't change anything to the computer, cannot be installed
programs, cannot change all settings, can not update users...

He won't let me do anything, even if I right click Run as
Administrator (request a password that does not work using either
my girls or mine)

I can not install any programs, as it still does administrator password
the box pop up asking for a password has no field to enter a.

I returned and removed the passwords of all users.

Same problem, it is always ask password when you try to install
any software or change system settings.

It won't let me even go back to a restore point, because it requires a password.

I tried to access the command prompt and enter what is hidden
files of the administrator.

Guess what?

It's true, that it won't let me activate it by one of the user logons
as said you must have administrator privileges and none of
make them.

OK fine, I give up, somehow, I screwed here, to take the pain
and re-install and go through the hours of reupdating...

Not so fast, now I found another problem.

When the computer reboots, the computer sees the keyboard (USB) up to the
Windows is running.

Without recognizing the keyboard, I can't interrupt the boot sequence
to tell it to boot from the CD/DVD drive.

I am able to enter the BIOS to tell him to just boot from the
the CD/DVD drive, but it still gives me the option of Vista and the timer starts

and can not be interrupted as it recognizes not all keyboard commands.

I found an old USB adapter to PC I had and tried to connect the
keyboard to that instead of a USB key.

It doesn't always recognize the keyboard during the initial startup sequence.

I tried 3 keyboards in all USB slots, same story, is not
recognize the keyboard, so I can't interrupt the boot upward to install
of the disc.

If I let him continue it starts very well Windows Vista and all the
devices work fine.

It won't just not let me do the administrative tasks at all.

Talk about uptight.

I can not install anything, I can't change anything, and now I can't
even reinstalling Vista.

Tell me please that someone has a suggestion that is not too
technically difficult.

I need your help if you guessed it!

Well nothing of such things seems to work, but I got the chance of a solution that I forgot.

I went back into the BIOS and found that USB keyboard and USB mouse have been disabled, for this is why the keyboard would not work during the boot manager.

I went and endabled them and then the keyboard would work to let me interrupt the boot upward.

Now, here's something.

When I booted in safe mode it put the 'hidden' on the desktop administrator account.

I have connected to this administrator account and immediately changed each administrator user account.

Restarted in normal mode and my problem was solved!

Thanks for the help, hope this answer helps others.

    Hello

    I have the 4 gig of detonators w / a 8 GB micro card.  relatively new to the thing of mp3 player is full please bear w / me. I searched the forums for many of my questions in this post.

    Here is my limited understanding.

    WMP is not as good as the media monkey

    MP3 compression does not sound as good as wma at the same rate.

    most of the users put the music every day and all the images on the hd internal of the "rocket", while putting not very listened to music and video on external card.

    which covers approximately.

    what I have

    Rocket 4 GB with an 8 GB card.

    a cheap double male stereo mini taken to go from my rocket to my axillary in on my sony cd player.

    drive cd Sony w / infinity speakers

    I use only 3 1/2 concerts with prolly 1 GB more music and images to go.

    I use wma 345 kbps

    I won't come anywhere near running out of room unless I put a dvd on the subject.

    my questions

    Why my sound would be so much less than my computer or cd volume on my cd player in my car? I don't max on my cd player. my volume threshold collapses until I lose the quality of the sound in cd mode. but when I put my rocket through my cd player in my car I lose the integrity of the music before coming anywhere near the desired decibel.

    I have the framework for a sound strong and I tried with my CD almost to the maximum and then increase the volume on the "rocket". I also started w / the volume of the "rocket" upward and then increase the volume on my cd player. did my stereo mini plugs ghetto radio shack? It's just something that happens in the towers from one player to the other? sound fake before I max out my CD volume where as before it would be well before the sound quality has been lost. I changed all of the treble and bass on fuze and sony settings... btw I'm not listening to rap or hip hop... so his bass no big drops. I listen to punk metal and oldschool. a lot of treble and most of the bass is in the form of double bass drums and others.

    I have a few days of work this week so I can delete my music and re rip in another format?

    I'm not worried about using too much space, nor I am concerned w / the time that I have to put my music on my pc then my rocket.

    so should I start w / monkey media and rip to a different format? should I buy the ministereo plugs? any other suggestions would be awesome! all my music is original cd only received a few albulms off Amazon in mp3 format, so I can just put it on a cd and RIP all by doing household chores. I want the best sound I can get. not worried about size and or space... should I rip to wav or lossless and then encode lame or something else? Help! Thanks in advance!

    That's the good news. Thanks to you two!

  • New in MapPoint. Can help you with the selection of a range of data?

    Hello

    I just open MapPoint 2013 as import data, select a radius from a given location and export data.  That's all I need of MapPoint to manage but can't seem to find a small tutorial on how to on this subject.

    I tried flying by the seat of my pants, so to speak and have selected a range of 70 minutes, but the output file shows only 96 files when I know that many more within a radius of driving I've selected.  Bugs appear to be associated with zip codes.  For example, in the Excel file there are no addresses (records) but only zip codes and a list indicating the number of organizations within each zip.  I want real organizations in a range of one hour.

    You can ask in the following forum because they are more likely to have relevant experts:

  • Can help you with the product key?

    Separated from this thread.

    Sir Ahhm way I'll buy the full Virsion I no money Sir pls you can find me has free Virsion to find the product in my Windows 7 Ultimate key?

    Windows 7 Ultimate is not available for free. It's the most expensive edition of Windows 7. If you want a genuine license, you will need to buy one or buy a cheaper edition.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

    Help! Thank you

    Lisa

    Hello

    -No, I don't have third-party backup programs installed.
    -J' tried using another disk backup, but it started it count once again as "disk 1" yet I had left off to "drive 6"and I couldn't tell if he has taken over where I left off or starting on even once, I don't want to do because I can't rewrite on my DVD. , because they are disposable.
    Because I needed to achieve this, I advanced and bought more DVD and will continue to backup even if I do not know where she had stopped. I think I can say that it not continue starting above and to the right.
    I think that the problem might have been that DVD #6 was bad, as he had a scratch on her, even if it was new out of the envelope.
    Software AV is not the issue, I am able to do backup, I wanted to just be able to pick up where I left off, as opposed to duty again since the beginning of my documents again. I just wish that Windows backup has been a little easier to use, in particular the fact that it is not "tag" my files to show who we are it is already saved, just like other software, (ex Mozy), which is very useful. And be able to choose what files I need backup rather than being limited to simply choose the 'file type '...

    I did disk first aid and tonight, tried to do a reinstall in Recovery Mode. I went into Recovery Mode, but nothing after that I said to reinstall Sierra (in fact he said that he would check if I was eligible, then I hit Continue, and nothing's happened over an hour when I left).  I also downloaded from the App Store, reinstalled Sierra and have exactly the same problems. But I'll try fortunately once again in a day or two after your specific guidelines, and it would be nice if it worked.  (I had all of your problems. Mine were the window of the mail attachment issues (opens and closes quickly or opens but not completely, so I can not upwards), network goes offline after I wake the computer from sleep, sleep sometimes takes three tests since the first time I try to sleep, he wakes up immediately.  But I'll give it a try and thanks to you and khati for the info.
