Administrator Account Gone...totally Stumped!

Dec 13, 2008

So this all started with running NewSID from SysInternals on my Vista64 machine. Yes I knew the risks, but it seemed 50/50 from what I had read on other forums around the Internet so I went ahead and took my chances with it. Sure enough, NewSID hung up just like a lot of people said it would, and I was forced to kill the process and restart. NewSID seemed to do its job, as my PC thought it had been started for the first time, only some things were very odd.

My original Administrator account had been demoted to a guest account. This is the only account available at my log in screen. Looking under my Users folder, I see my old user account folder jakt, and a second folder called jakt.jakt-pc. (This is in the format of <user>.<domain>) All my data remains. Files are all there, programs all still run fine, drivers still intact. Under my Local Users and Groups in Computer Management, I see only two users in my Administrators usergroup. S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-1000 and S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXX-500. I believe this is my previous SID before running the NewSID utility. No clue where this came from, or how to log in under this account, or if it is even possible to use this account.......

Cant Get Screensavers To Work

Apr 18, 2009

When i used to run XP, downloading a screensaver would usually just add it to my list in the screensaver menu. However, I have not found any way to get screensavers outside of the ones that came with vista to work. No matter where i save them, the desktop,the windows folder, the windows32 folder (where all the other screensaver files are) i can not get anything i download to appear on the list of available screensavers.

Easily Customize Screensavers

Dec 30, 2008

About a year about I posted a detailed article about customizing the new screensavers in Windows Vista that are also included in Windows 7. Since then a Windows developer known as Onmicoder has taken the tweaks a step further and built a GUI around the registry values. Now users that don’t want to modify the registry manually can customize screensavers with just a few clicks.

You can download the utility on NeoWin’s forums here. Once downloaded make sure you run the utility as administrator. It modifies portions of the registry that require administrative rights to make changes.

Ctrl Panel/Personalizations/ScreenSavers. No Response

Apr 23, 2009

Clicking screensaver, or any other constituents of Personalization, brings no response. The "hand" icon doesn't do anything regardless of which item it is pointed at. Very frustrating as I particularly seek to review my screensaver choices already installed.

Cant Get Out Of Safe Mode!

Mar 23, 2008

I've tried and tried, please I hope you can help me. I have a Toshiba A215-4817 laptop with Vista Home Premium 32bit. My troubles began when my cd/dvd was not operating properly. Toshiba support said my operating system was corrupt. I didn't believe that just because the cd/dvd wasn't working properly that the os is corrupt, maybe they were right.

I have extremely important info on my hd as I do taxes for a living.

In an effort to trouble shoot the cd/dvd I booted into safe mode. No-one tole me that the administrator account is disabled by default! So now I can't get out of safe mode. I have access to only my limited user account and uac is enabled. System restore doesn't change boot options.

I can't edit registry = access denied, cmd.exe when trying to activate administrator account = system error 5.

Can't Get Out Of Safe Mode?

Mar 23, 2008

I had an issue with one of my games and it directed me to go into safe mode to uninstall it. Now that it's uninstalled, I can't get out of safe mode. I've been through this forum in and out. I've done nearly all the things that it has stated that come close to my issue. I'm still in here. I've been in and out for 3 hours now. I've gone through the msconfig, and told it to restart in normal mode, I'm still in safe mode. I've used the F8 button while starting it, and told it to go to safe mode, I'm still here. I've even checked to see if it was the resolution, I've set it to my default settings of 1280x720, and restart it, it's still in safe mode. I've done EVERYTHING that I can think of.

Booting In Safe Mode

Nov 3, 2009

I have a dell laptop with Vista factory installed. The other day is stopped booting and it can not repair itself. I am attempting to get into safe mode to check a few things out. However pressing or holding F8 while rebooting does not work for me. I have tried about 50 times. If I can not get windows to load are there any other ways through the command prompt or something to get windows to load in safe mode?

I use PeerGuardian 2 on my XP box to keep out unwanted IPs, such as those that would drop a mess of spyware onto my computer. There isn't yet a download for a fully completed version of PG2 for Vista, but there is an RC1 out. Does anyone know what the risks are of running this version? Link to the PeerGuardian 2 client

Only Boots Into Safe Mode

Mar 29, 2009

I have a computer I can only boot into safe mode. I recently rebuilt a cannabolized HP computer and I cannot boot the machine into windows. I have tried three different, working, hard drives on it, but have had no luck. One of the drives is the original to the machine and runs Vista Ultimate 32bit. Vista booted suceessfully prior to the cannabolization. The second hard drive runs XP Home and also boots into Safe Mode only. The third hard has no OS so I tried installing a commercial version of Vista which was unsuccessful. Computer would crash. I ran a few hardware tests and the memory, cpu, optical drive, and hard drive check out. I don't think anything is wrong with the motherboard as the computer worked fine before. The computer is stable in BIOS setup, and when booting to optical disc. No POST errors.

The hardware I added should be compatible with the motherboard (M2n68-Narra2) as I checked with HP website. The hardware I added: Antec 500watt power supply, DDR2 8Gb Ram, Sony DVD drive, Samsung 640Gb HD, Thermaltake CPU cooler, AMD X2 5600+ processor. I am out of ideas on how to make the computer boot into Windows

Safe Mode And Tried To Uninstall

Dec 13, 2008

turns out that most likely the culprit for my computer acting different is because of Microsoft Office. The problem I have is with not being able to get microsoft updates, open control panel, etc. I went into safe mode and tried to uninstall, but it would not let me. So I cold deleted from the program files folder. However, now that I'm in regular mode, my computer is still acting like before. How do I resolve this?..
