Anyone know why having the latest VMWare Player installed, makes you click on your user account at the log on screen after bootup on the Host machine without having a password protected account, when if you didn't, would normally just boot into Windows??
I'm thinking maybe since I didn't set up a password with the installation of my guest Win 7 VM..hmm.
Months ago I installed VMware player 4.0.2-28060 to install a VM which completed successfully as it should, about a week ago I wanted to update my version of the software. I downloaded and attempted to install 4.0.4-744019 and encountered an error stating that some files could not be found, Does anyone have any idea where I could get the installation package for VMware player 4.0.2-28060? I've searched both google and the VMware site it's self over several times

View 6 Replies View RelatedThis Adobe Flash Player User Account Control popup has become extremely annoying, and I cannot seem to overcome it.
I allowed the computer initially to install Adobe Flash Player. It now regularly displays the User Account Control window popup asking: "Allow changes to yout computer? Adobe Flash Player Installer".
I have 'allowed it', and it still goes on. I have 'denied it' and it still goes on. I have uninstalled Flash Player and the same things happen.
Is this Bloody thing a CURSE, or is the remedy at my finger tips? I cannot open the snip tool to capture the User Account Control popup as snip will not open when popup is dispalyed.

For those who were using Vista Winmail in win 7 and find it 'broken' following the installation of the SP1 update (likely due to the inclusion of update KB978542), you can easily restore it by copying the Vista Winmail folder (if you still have it) back to the Program files directory.

View 9 Replies View RelatedEarlier this morning I was on my laptop, and I must have knocked it or something, because the battery fell out and as a result it shut down. A minor annoyance I thought, but nothing extreme.
I then tried to start the computer up again and it told me "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause"
This had come up before and I always just pressed "Start windows normally" and it works fine. However, this time when I tried it, it didn't work fine. The windows logo didn't come up on the "Starting Windows" screen, and it came up with the "Windows is loading files..." bar that typically comes up on startup repair.
I figured hey, I'll let it do it's thing. It came up with the grey background (The one that it typically loads startup repair on) but it just stayed like that. No box coming up telling me the progress. Nothing, just a screen. The mouse cursor is there and I can move it, but nothing happens.
I thought it might just be slow, went out for a cigarette, came back and nothing had changed. I shut the laptop down and tried to run start up repair. The same thing happened. I shut it down again, pressed ESC and tried to run system recovery. Same thing happened. I tried to run safe mode and the same thing happened again. I tried to run the last known good configuarion and - you guessed it - same thing again.
I have a HP Pavilion g6 with Windows 7 and that's all I know about it. I don't have the windows 7 discs since I left them when I came to uni - it's under warranty but I also left the recipt so I can't take it back either ha.
This is the second time that has happened to me, the first, well i had to reformat because i could not find a solution. When I installed new or older drivers for my nvidia 9800gtx, my vertical refresh doesn't turn off even though it says it is off. It is effecting me within games where i need it off. Any help?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got this problem for a while now. Sometimes, out of nowhere my whole computer crashes. And sometimes it doesn't even start up. I've attached one of the latest dumps, the only crash that generated a dump because it's a freeze, not a BSOD or a crash.
View 2 Replies View Relatedlosing access to your Administrators account I figured now would be a good time to setup a secondary FULL Administrators account. I have done that.
But what I'm looking to do is HIDE that secondary account from the welcome screen and if I need it hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to get to the old style log on screen and type in the secondary user name and password.
In XP it was easy to hide user accounts from showing on the Welcome screen with the Powertoys add on. I'm not finding it that easy in 7. In fact most of what I have read states that the only way to do this it to set the account as NOT ACTIVE. I don't want to do that. I want it active I just don't want to see it on the Welcome screen.
this must've happened after an update, but now when i turn on my PC, i need to click on my user name to continue to load windows.
i'm trying to find the fast login/welcome screen section to turn this off so windows loads without any input from me.
how would I do it? The account would still be usable for it's privileges, granting access for standard users when necessarily, but not be visible at logon.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWell I have guests visiting and like to keep the PC private, have an enabled Guest Account.
When it recovers from Sleep mode, or in switch user mode, the logon icons appear, mine the Admin has a password and the Guest. But importantly when the machine boots, the users including guest don't show.
As the title implies, how can i hide user account on log-on screen and useCtrl+Alt+Del key to unhide the hidden user account like on Windows XP..
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen I turn on my computer, or bring it back from sleep mode, there are two of the same account. Basically it shows the user boxes with the same name twice, (both with the same password, picture, etc.) It's not really a problem, just kind of annoying to me for some reason.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using a windows 7 Home prem. 64bit I want a computer with no administrator privilege. The start up screen should only show one standard account. There should be no other account to see when I start up the PC.
And when the standard account wants a admin privilege, a box should appear where I can type in the password.
What I tried was activating the default administrator account by "net user administrator /active:yes". After setting the password I deactivated the admin account inorder to hide it at the start up screen. But when the "standard account" wanted to use the admin privilege it asked for the password with no field to type it into. Apparently disabling the administrator account means; not able to use the admin password either. I had to restart the PC in "Safe Mode Command Prompt", go into the admin account, activate the admin account(net user administrator /active:yes), restart the PC and so on.....
Long story short; I don't want to have the admin account to be like "IN YOUR FACE" when ever the user "STARTS UP" this computer.
I have two machines that I've installed Windows 7 Professional 32-bit on and I'm having the same problem on both. When I turn on my computer it goes to the login welcome screen and stops. I have to click on my picture for it to continue logging into the desktop. I have no password and only one admin account set up on either one.
I tried setting up the auto login using netplwiz in the search bar but it doesn't do anything. I set up a password and set up the autologin and it didn't work on either machine. So now I'm back to no password and in need of help. Anyone got any ideas?
I have 3 accounts, plus an administrator login (in an educational environment).
Does anyone know how to hide the Administrator account on the login screen but keep it enabled?
I found this article, but it doesn't achieve what I was hoping for.
Displaying only 1 user at the login screen.
And why doesn't crtl-alt-del not work anymore at the login screen?
when my windows 7 32-bit laptop starts up and displays the login screen there is an account that it seems to want to default to called ./user when the OS was loaded that was the original user account. since then that account has been deleted, however it is still showing up on the login screen. i believe at one point someone may have deleted this account from the user accounts on this laptop, as well as the folders associated with the profile.does anyone know how to manage this annoying screen?

View 1 Replies View Relatedthis is a recurring problem that i always seem to have when i get a new version of windows or windows media player.
I can't seem to get any videos i open to automatically fill up my screen as i have before i normally find out how to do this myself but this time i can't.
In the past i would set video size to 200%, fit video to player and then set the player size to my desired size and then videos would always start covering most of my screen. However when i try this now very new video i open resets the size of the player to 200% of the video instead of retaining the size i gave it earlier.
In short i want to have all my videos open so that they cover my screen but so i still have access to my taskbar (so not pressing Alt-Enter).
I've been trying to change my user account picture in the control panel, it worked, and it showed up in the start menu, but it didn't change in the logon screen (still dell default icon).My system is Dell precision M6600, win7pro 64-bit. My user account has administrator right (in fact I am the only user).
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy father's girlfriend is giving this Toshiba laptop to my father, and I'm charged with setting this up.Starting off, the only (non-Guest) account has been:
[HerName]
Administrator
I created:
[HisName]
Adminsitrator
So when you boot up Windows 7, it lands here:
[HerName] [HisName]
Administrator Adminstrator
1) To put [HisName] first, on the left?or better yet, 2) Remove [HerName] from the logon screen, keeping the account so it can be switched to?
BAsically, I've 2 accounts:
Admin- 'A', Standard- 'S'.
When the logon screen appears, the admin account 'A' is selcted by default i.e. a border surrounding the username, everytime I've to manually select my account and enter password.
I just want my account 'S' to be highlighted by default when the logon screen appears. And no, i don't want to use the automatic login option. Just what I mentioned above.
I followed the steps you provided to delete a user account and it is still showing up when I attempt to log on. I even restarted the computer, thinking that was what was needed, but there it is still!
