I only had to click on IE to have it run. Than, (after 1. installing latest Windows Vista upgrades, and 2. installing and viewing the latest FreshUI but not making any changes), IE would only run if I Rt clicked and selected RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. If I only Left clicked the IE window would open, and then quickly (1-2 sec) close again.
View 3 RepliesWe bought a new laptop yesterday. Until now we both had our own. So we both have our own stuff we want to move there. We set up two accounts, both with admistrator permissions. But we would like those accounts to not "work" together. Like for example, we don't want our pictures, music etc to be seen from the other ones account. But now it does. We both want to put them to the D drive and only see our own stuff. Because it gets really confusing with the amount of stuff we have. So when I go somewhere, I only want to see the things I have put there, not his things. How do we do this? Also I noticed that if he or I remove something from the desktop, it goes away from the other account as well. That is really not something I want. I want the accounts to sort of work like two different computers.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just removed DVD drive from ASUS R1E laptop and plugged in extra battery pack and after I plugged in USB portable hard drive WD Passport Vista now requires activation. I use this system for about 1 year and I used it in exactly the same configuration before. OS says that there was a hardware change and now I need to activate OS within 3 days. The only difference from previous config is that now I have connected receiver for US wireless Microsoft keyboard and mouse and 4 port USB hub. I also changed power plan to conserve battery power and at that moment Vista shown activation message in tray. Is there a limitation how many USB devices in total can I plug in? I think I may have used about 10 - 15 different devices including USB flash memory.What can I do to revert the activation request? I don't have any other product key, but the original one that came with the laptop.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a bit of weird problem. My step-brother's laptop keeps telling him his version of Vista is not genuine. And yes I'm telling the truth, it really is my step-brother with the problem, and not just me using him as a scapegoat to save my e-pride . But anyway I told him a thousand times to look for help online, but every time he just answers with something nonsensical like "No I shouldn't have to. Bill Gates should just make better hardware." And I'm just like there are so many things wrong with that statement I don't know where to start. So I decided to make the topic for him since him complaining about it nonstop won't fix it. I'll provide as much info as I can, but I'm not sure if it'll prove useful. It would be much better if he would just make a topic, so he could go into more detail but it's not like he listens to me.

How could I disable this. password protection is already disabled.

View 6 Replies View RelatedThis is regarding a desktop using Vista Home Premium and a laptop using Vista Home Premium. A shared printer is attached to the desktop. I've spent more than a few hours of researching on the internet, including the technet information for Vista file/print sharing. I have enabled file and print sharing without using a password on a private network. I have Xp machines on my home network. I am able to access them with no issues.
My issue is that when I access my Vista Home Premium desktop from the Vista Home Premium laptop (or vice versa), I have to enter a username. Any letter of the alphabet works, a password is not required. My desktop is a dual boot system. The other OS is XP Home. It does not require a username for file/print sharing................

View 5 Replies View RelatedLast night I was trying to get rid of some of the virtual memory on my laptop.
It has 320 Gb and 260 Gb are occupied so since I only have 80 Gb on the HD, I was trying to fix the problem.Well instead to fix the problem I made a mess somehow I changed the users and Admin' options, and I changed all the permissions to the accounts two accounts!! I was trying to get control of the system like a TrustedInstaller.instead.the laptop works but I have no access to anything!
Right now I basically have no permission only reading NO ACCESS to the hard disk ...no access to most of the systems' folders .
In prompt I can not really do anything since it denies every my request.
I am SO bored, because everything in Vista must Allow or Deny. And even though i ALLOW, ME, the ADMINISTRATOR, THE OWNER from the Computer has the acess Denied. Thats dumb, i think. i was wondering, how can i Take Ownership from my WHOLE computer and have the Full Permission from just everything. In a way to grant Acess to whole Notebook. How do i do it? I know its possible cause in a Modified Windows Version it was like that.

View 8 Replies View RelatedSetup: My old XP machine crashed and burned (possible lightning strike). However, the Hard Drive survived. I used my IDE to USB 2.0 adapter and hooked up the HDD to my new Vista machine. Problem: While I can access, view, and copy all other files, I cannot access the My Documents folder because I don't have permissions. Well, let me clarify that - I can see the files, but I get the permissions error when I attempt to open or copy the files, individually, in groups, or by parent folder.Duh. Is there anyway I can access the Owner files (My Documents and all sub-folders) from my Vista machine?
