View 0 Replies View RelatedI have two programs that save files to different subfolders in their Program Files folders. These programs can access these files without a problem. However, I am unable to access these files through Explorer by browsing or searching. Even when I logged in as the administrator and searched in Explorer, none of these files were found. How can they be that hidden? I need to access them. How can I access them? Vista Home

I've read a lot about problems that are almost the same as mine, but not quite.I have, somehow, deleted the only administrator account in vista. Basically because I deleted all the passwords stored, I guess. I know there is a super-administrator account but I can not access it in any way: I've tried restarting normally, chose administrator, put the blan passsword but get a return saying the account has been disabled. I've tried restarting in safe mode (no administrator login available). I've tried the command prompt and net user (error 5) I've even tried regedit (not allowed) The mater is you have to be an administrator to create another administrator account. The laptop doesn't have any crucial information, so I would gladly format it.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhenever I go into a computer lab or an internet cafe, most computers have accounts that are super limited (e.g. can only use IE and maybe office), and often erase all new settings/passwords, etc. upon logout.
Do you guys know how to do this in vista? e.g. create an account so that users can't possibly mess around with settings or leave any lasting damage? OS is home 32bit.

Yes, knowing what hardware you actually have would have been helpful,
but that's OK. Before you go and buy a PCI sound card, go into your BIOS
and change your default graphics card from onboard to AGP (or PCIe,
whichever you have). While you're in there, make sure the onboard sound ...

I have a Vista computer with the following Antivirus / spyware removal programs
- Eset NOD32 v2.7
- Spy bot search and destry
- SuperAntispyware
- Ad aware
- Windows defender
All the software is updated with the latest "definitions"
2 firewalls (1 windows firewall, 1.with the router)
Do I need more software like that to be safe?
I think this is too much software installed to just take care of virus and spyware threats. For it seems like virus is not soo big problem any more. Soo I am wondering isnt it possible to for Microsoft to make something "supersmart" to get rid of spy ware??
Can someone recommend a good spyware program for Vista 64? I've tried PCTOOLS Spy Doctor. It ran and found spyware and removed it, however when I turned the computer on next it had boot errors. I ended up having to work with HP(very good help) and reload Vista from scratch. I hadn't backed up yet, but there was nothing to lose as the computer was one day old, just lost time.

View 5 Replies View Relatedi have been trying to delete AVG on my computer for a long time, it began when i installed it, then uninstalled it but all files are left and i cant "uninstall" it again because when i look in Add or remove programs it dont appear on the list and when i run setup.exe it wants to install it but i cant install it either because i need a licensekey for it that i dont have. I used to have Unlocker but it dont work on x64 bit systems so i cant use it either. I cant delete the folder because the program is running like 5 progresses on my computer and when i finish any process they start again within seconds...i need space on my computer and the processes is taking much memory so .

After a reboot and another scan winlogon.exe was no longer infected but other files were. It seems to have disinfected them. The only thing left is a popup that comes up everytime IE is started. I can't figure out what is causing it. I ran ad aware - it disposed of a few things but he still gets that popup when IE starts.

View 7 Replies View RelatedRecently against my better judgement I installed iTunes on my computer so I could update my daughters iPod. Since that I have discovered programs like Bonjour and Safari which have been installed by the Apple Updater program. Some of these are in my startup group and as I use a lot of resources photo and video editing I decided to uninstall all of them. However in each case a message pops up saying "the computer administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" I have seen a lot of people complaining about
similar issues but most most of the solutions involve running programs which are not available in my version of Windows Vista, Home Premium 32-bit.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently experienced problems with the software for my Dell AIO 966 printer. On advice from the Dell NG's, I uninstalled all of my USB controllers, and rebooted in the expectation that Windows would detect and reinstall them. To a point, this was successful, but now whenever I boot my system, I get the windows "New hardware found"dialogue. Any, and I do mean ANY, mouse clicks in the dialog area at this point result in my mouse and keyboard being totally frozen.
Device Manager reports all the usual stuff, along with 2 "Unknown Device" entries. The only way I can boot my system now is to wait for the Hardware found diaalog, R-Click the taskbar, and kill the dialog from Task Manager. I usually have to kill it 3 times, at which point all is well. I've replaced the Dell printer that started this nonsense with an Epson Workforce 500, and have no printer problems. I'm obviously way over my head here folks.

When I go to control Panel> Add remove Programs, Bittorrent is not on the list, but how do I get rid iof the icon now??
