  Hello

  A week ago, I opted to do a factory reset on my Dell laptop, thinking that it would solve a network problem, that I had. It didn't, but that the problem was solved shortly after reboot. Other than to have to re - install what I lost few programs, everything was the same as before; the custom themes, accounts, etc. Two days later, I went to start my laptop computer and the lock screen has a default value, and the only one available for a connection account is a local account; no administrator optionally account. I can not all my admin username and password to work on anything except to access the app My Dell. My admin account is also my Microsoft account, that works find when the signature line... Help, please... It is so aggravating...

• Unable to connect after live password change and the airplane mode is on...

  I have a huge dilemma here

  I change my live password and before turning off my Surface RT was in airplane mode IT

  Now when I try to log on my RT Surface, it is rejected with the message

  Your PC is in offline mode.  Please sign in with the last password used on this PC

  But I'm trying with the old password and the message remains displayed

  An advise please!

  Hello again,

  BitLocker can be the thing to aim for. Airplane mode is so new that there probably isn't much (if any) documentation on how to change these settings in command line.

  I tried everything I could according to tiny knowledge I have of the technical aspect of the Surface RT

  so I finally made a Reset which has no less then 02:45 hours to return with all the tweak, settings, installations and updates, I had on my Surface.

  I'll never use this button to plane more until my Surface RT death even if I'm on a plane that will soon be passing.  I prefer crashing somewhere than to have to redo this RESET the horror!

  Hope one thing.  Microsoft should listen to this carefully:

  Do the airplane mode with any available behind the lock screen internet connectivity just before sign you so we can ensure that we're not stuck outside.

  Oh yes you suggested to have another user as a Local account. Well, maybe, but let's say that a lot of people don't want to have another user on their Surface, even if it's to be safe outdoors.  I don't even know if it would have saved my butt anyway.  I have my lesson for good.

  Mark this answer - Yes not exactly an answer that someone would want to read.

• Unable to log on as an ADMINISTRATOR after the new facility (APEX 3.2 on 10.2.0.3.0)

  I got a new APEX 3.2 on 10g installation (Apache and DB both running on Windows Server 2003)
  
  Everything seems to have successfully completed, and I copied the images directory and updated the file dads.conf with the location, as follows:
  
  Alias is "C:\OraHome_HTTPserver\ohs\images/" <-used some backslashes for all but the last slash
  
  I stopped and restarted the server HTTP.
  
  I can get to http://myserver:7777 / pls/apex/apex_admin, but after you enter the user name = admin and the password, nothing happens.
  
  If I click on icon problem on the lower left corner of the browser (internet explore) the popup displays error: object EXPECTED
  
  I've seen several similar issues here, and they seem to all point to a problem with the images. But, if it's my problem, how to solve it?
  
  Thank you

  Check the zip file that you have installed APEX of. If these files are missing there, too, you could have a damaged APEX installation file.

• Windows Update requires approval from the Admin while logged in as an administrator

  I recently reinstalled Vista Ultimate after some adventures with a bad copy of Windows 7.  I am the administrator.  The only account that I currently have is the admin. account.  Any update I try to install, Windows Update asks me to log on as an administrator or ask one to perform the task for me.  I read articles and Q & A @http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistasecurity/thread/afa66485-9c42-469e-b393-5bd8ad5a82e5 until my eyes bled.  For the love of God: why this cannot be resolved so much hassle?

  * Title *.
  I am administrator BUT Windows Update told Me I need to provide permission administrator logon as administrator or by asking an administrator to perform tasks for me

  I had the same problem with Windows updates asking permission of the administrator when I was logged in as an administrator. Sometimes the Windows updates works fine and sometimes it has its flaws, but there is usually a way around it if you want to install the update. And here's one to try: go to start > Windows Update. You can eliminate the problem promptly Admin here by clicking on change settings in the sidebar and check the box that allow all users to install updates on this computer. You can always change it back again after you install the updates that you want. I hope this helps.

• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

• How can I get the error "Unable to start the service" on attempts to run administrative tools (including the Services application) when logged in as an administrator?

  A large number of menu selections is affected, including the 'computer management', 'Event Viewer', 'Services' and 'System Configuration'.
   
  I tried to clean a computer that was thus invaded by unwanted applications and the services that it was unusable.  I applied several sets of Windows updates until it has been fairly stable, then lightened through the Services application services, changing many services 'automatic' to 'enabled' or 'disabled '.  I suspect that some service necessary for the performance of the foregoing has been inadvertently stopped.  (None that he was '' strongly recommended '' or '' recommended '' do not turn off or the description seemed to make a requirement, but...)  I don't know how to confirm this theory, identify the missing service or reactivate a service without the Services application.

  I got lucky.  I called a local, independent computer store.  Their support staff (after confirming that I had an appropriate Windows license) told me that if the computer came with a disk for Installation of Windows Vista, there is probably a partition to start installation on the hard disk, I could get to with a special touch at the beginning of the start-up phase of the BIOS.  It flashed by so quickly that I missed my chance, so I put off the power while trying to boot Windows.  On my next attempt, I missed again (even if I managed to spot the key combination - F11).  But when he arrived at the start-up phase of Windows, he offered me a chance to run the system restore which was banned when I was logged in with an administrator account.  I had to go back a ways, but I found one who would start and was able to complete cleaning of the machine and make it to a usable state.
   
  Thanks to all who responded.
   
  Oh, and it seems (according to my conversation with the service of the local computer store) that my fatal mistake was by disabling the service allowing you to promote its own security.  Apparently an administrator account is not the rights needed to perform most administrative functions without it; If disabling the service gets you into a nearly unrecoverable state.  A hint of that in the description of the service, or even a total ban on deactivation, would be a good idea.
