View 7 RepliesI've tried some methods already and still unable to use "Computer Management". I've tried having my computer in safe mode. I've tried going to cmd and net user administrator /active:yes and tried to access "Computer Management" I've switch on and off UAC. Note* I am logged on as the administrator. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit What can I do to access the Administrative Tools?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhile trying to install Realplayer 11 gold I keep getting an error message saying that I do not have administrative rights to the register, install canceled. I am the administrator of my PC, I right-clicked and hit 'run as administrator', checked all of my 'permissions', even created a new user id with admin rights! Used the 'take over' program available from vista and now I'm at a loss.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a sound trigger for the 'Open program' event in Vista Basic sp2 x32 When my computer is idle and I "here" a program open the only thing I have to go by is the time it occurred. If I want to go to Event Viewer in Administrative Tools and see what this event was that triggered the event sound I'm overwhelmed with a bunch of categories and sub-categories. In order to find what opened at the specific time I need to check each category and sub-category. That is a real pain in the ass. I find no search capabilities in Event Viewer unless I've missed it. Is there some way of making a hunt for a specific time easier in Event Viewer? Or, is there some 3rd party software with the capability to sort all events by data and time??
View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed vista ultimate x64 on my PC. After a while, I ran into some programs that requested I run them on the Administrator account. Not wanting to have to right-click and select the option every-time I installed something, I decided to enable the Administrator account with the command I found on the net, namely net user administrator /active:yes Restart, log into Administrator account, all is well. Naturally, not wanting to re-install all the programs, I simply copied the AppData, Documents and Desktop folders from the previous account over the ones in the Administrator account. All is well. I want to install a program and I receive the error message that I, the f-ing Administrator, don't have the privileges to install the program to it's pre-specified directory. So I go to the ProgramData folder (that's where most programs go) and check the Security properties. Administrators and System accounts have full permision enabled in every single sub-section of the option.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running on windows Vista (32bit). I don't think any other specs are really necessary, but I can provide them if they are needed. Basically, I am having a lot of problems all through out my computer, all coming down to the issue of not being the administrator, or having administrator privileges. When I go into Control Panel > User Accounts, it shows me (The only account) as Administrator. However, I am not being recognized as it.
I've been trying to uninstall an old version of Microsoft Office. When I access it via Control Panel > Programs & Features and go to uninstall, it gives me the error "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall Microsoft Office. Please contact your system administrator."
Also, I have an external hard drive full of files that I would love to be able to organize (Moving and deleting files) and anytime I try to move or delete any files I get the error "You'll need to provide administrator permission to move this folder". It gives me two options of "Continue" or "Skip", both of which close out of the window and do nothing. How can I take control of my own computer? I am sick of this
These two Admin. Tools are not running;
Administrative Events -
and,
Network Diagnostic Events
I would like to know how I go about enabling both.
I have had this problem for a now while. As you see in the title an instance of svchost.exe always using about 70,000 K (right now another using 88,000 K) in task manager and I would like to know why and if I can bring that number down. If I right click it and click go to Services, the following are shown:........
Disabling Windows Update in Administrative Tools Services does nothing. I have 2 GB RAM also.
With the release of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1 Microsoft removed the old management tools that shipped with RTM Vista. When you install Windows Vista SP1 you will notice that the Group Policy Management Client (GPMC.msc) and other features are no longer available. They have been uninstalled from your system.
Microsoft replaced the old uitilities with updated version in the Remote Server ...
I recently created a second administrative account. For sercurity reasons i hid it from the login screen. When i was making it I accidently changed my first administrative account to standard and didnt change it back before i logged off. Now I cant login in to an administrative account or change the dword value back to 1 so i can login because i dont have adminstrative permission. When i try to do this or change the account back to adminstrator it says "To continue type an administrators password and press ok. BUT their is nowhere to type and the ok is shaded so i cant press it! WHAT do i do! Is their another way i can login?

View 9 Replies View RelatedRe: Vista Ultimate 64-bit I changed settings for several Services - disabling some - etc & made some trouble for myself.I did find some tech web pages that suggested how to edit/make large scale register changes - sounded risky.Can I return all the Vista/Administrative Tools/ Services back to their default settings - within Windows Vista - without having to reinstall or make other drastic choices? I do have backups but failed to note the dates of changes I made to the settings.
