A factory restore is probably your best option, but experts in a Vista forum might have some better ideas. Currently, you post in a forum for Windows 7.

    Tried all the foregoing, including disabling UAC, before activation and connecting the built in Administrator account.  Even so, some programs told me I had no administrative privileges when I tride to execute.  After working in this market and for several days, I have concluded that the problem was related to virus/malware and, given that I could not all my programs/utilities AV running, except those located on bootable disks (none of which were of no help), I simply gave up and did a factory restore on the computer.  Unfortunately I could recover some of the files of the student.

  • Windows Vista Home Basic - problem with the icons does not meet various Windows services after trying to download updates

    I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

  • The administrator account has disappeared from my computer running Windows XP Pro. How can this happen and how can it be solved?

    I don't see that the clarification would help.

    To retrieve the getting started welcome screen (in fact, many people want to know how to get the system to the way you have it, on the contrary), see--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/noautologon.htm

    Out of curiosity, use the command control userpasswords2 described on the link above and look at the list of users.

    You should have:

    • each account you created
    • an account named Administrator
    • an account named ASPNET; and
    • an account named comments

    You have these accounts?  Specifically, you have an account named Administrator in more the one named Admin?

    All Windows XP installations have a built-in account named Administrator.  This account should normally be reserved for emergency cases and therefore, is hidden in the home in normal mode screen once you have created your own user account (I don't remember if you have created an account with computer administrator privileges user, or if the creation of a user account allows to hide 'Administrator').  Although it is possible to rename the built-in account, doing so is not easy and not a good idea IMO.

  • Why not Vista Home Basic or IE8 display images saved in saved, html pages after I change them?

    My system is Vista Home Basic and IE8.
    As an amateur, I often save Web pages with the content I want, then later in offline mode, I change the content of the Web page so that the party I want to keep. Often, the Web page contains an image, and when I want only the part of this picture, I change to delete unwanted parts. For example, I can only wish part of a radio chart.
    Vista Home Basic or IE8 will not display these edited images, jpg and gif. I can only record the image as a bitmap, which Vista Home Basic or IE8 will display, after having been edited.
    I tried to share the image with EVERYONE. I tried to share the webpage with ALL file.
    I don't know if this problem is of Vista Home Basic or IE8, but this IS Microsoft.
    Someone knows a way to solve this problem?
    What is one of the tools Microsoft neutered for the cheap Vista Home Basic?

    The painting seems to be the problem.  I had not heard of this problem with the paint before, but it is possible, that he has always been there.  At least you have a program that gives you a work around for the problem you may need to consider that your standard procedure (since there is no way to uninstall it and reinstall Microsoft Paint on its own to fix everything that could be bad if indeed there is one problem other than a stardard deficit in the program.  It is not a very sophisticated program, after all - but what you try to do should work as far as I know (he just apparently)).

    Maybe you can get more information in the Forum program: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/threads where people who specialize in Vista (like Microsoft Paint) additional programs will be more than happy to help you with your problem (if there is in fact a solution).

  • Vista Home Basic - changing the settings after restart

    1. I need to use the mouse with my left hand, so I swap the buttons in the control panel.   However, If I restart Windows, the keys are not exchanged.  I changed the registry key, but I do not do this.

    2. I set the control panel to display a list of items, not the icons, but it is up to the icons, whenever I close.  I use the classic look.

    3. I put the mouse pointer to go automatically to the default button in a dialog box.  It does in the majority of cases, but many there no, Notepad for example. I guess it's to do with the show but y at - it a fix for Notepad, for example?

    Does he know about fixes for these problems (I have installed all the updates I don't know).

    original title: Vista Home Basic - boring bugs

    Go to start / Control Panel / file settings / display and check the box then remember each folder view settings.  That should fix the problem with the Control Panel views (but to be honest, I'm not sure that it will work with control panel because it is another type of folder - but it's worth a try).  If this does not work, I don't know how to get the system to keep the details of opening view (this is the only control that I know to keep folder settings).  For what it's worth, this does not happen on my system - when I put on the details and close it, then open it it is still in the Details view.  I have 32 bit Vista Business SP2 but I don't think this should make no difference to the same problem.

    We will check your file system and hard drive for all the corruption that may cause this problem:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt, right click command prompt and click Run as administrator (you can skip this step if you are using the disk).

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    If this does not work (or or show corruption it cannot repair), the only option I know eventually the problem is repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.  The decision is yours, if you want to go through that much trouble to fix this (assuming you have the disc).

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It seems that your left mouse button problem is already solved by changes to the registry.  I don't know why it didn't keep its settings just to configure in Control Panel - that's what's supposed to happen (not what happened to you).

    The other problem with the mouse can be a problem with the individual programs (such as Notepad) or since you have detailed two separate problems with the mouse, it may have something to do with your mouse, software, firmware driver (or your mouse with Vista compatibility).  I would go to the manufacturer website and download the latest versions for your system and compatible with your version of Vista (making SURE it is compatible with Vista) and install them (or reinstall if you already have this version here).  There may be something to do with these elements to reinstall trouble.

    In Notepad, there is no solution for this problem.  There is no separate for Notepad - download this is the part of the operating system and re - install you will need to re - install the complete operating system (and who may not even solve the problem). What you said about it being a problem specific to the programs is probably correct - especially if she does not work in most of the programs (and I've never seen a mouse pointers control feature in any program I have ever used - it is assumed that is controlled globally of the settings in the control panel).

    Sorry, this was not in fact of great help (unless the mouse, software drivers and firmware option works).

    Good luck!

  • How to change the Vista Vista Home Basic to Home Premium

    Hi he joined the forum, so Hello to everyone.

    Could someone tell me please in the right direction with my problem.
    I tried of me sorting, but I do not understand what to do.

    I've had my Toshiba laptop pre-installed with Vista Home Basic now for six months, everything was fine, so I decided to move to Home Premium.

    And here is my problem, being a bit naïve and stupid I have no record or instructions to get my upgrade back.

    I tried to find a solution but don't know what to do.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
