I have 64-bit PC with OS Win 7, and I'm logged as admin. But, when I try to install something or do something else, there is a message saying that: I cannot do that because I'm not an admin on this PC.Is there anything I must adjust in my PC?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had a lot of trouble trying to fix my 3 year old PC. I recently set it up to my parents TV so they can watch DVD's and browse the internet. I wanted to disable the need for a password to log in and found a method of skipping the log in screen. Inside user accounts I un-ticked "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer".Unfortunately after a restart, the account that had been set up as an administrator had been converted to a guest account (No idea why this would happen?!). The hidden admin account in windows 7 is also disabled and can not be accessed (in safe mode or command prompt) at all to re-enable the other user's admin status. I can not start anything in elevated status or install any new applications at all as there are no admins! Trying to activate the admin account in command prompt comes up with."System Error 5 has occurred, Access is denied"The system is running on windows 7 home premium 32bit. UAC was turned down to the lowest setting in the interface, but I can not access the setting at all now! I was just about to set up a system recovery as the pc was setup exactly as I wanted it, so there's no way to do a system restore either! I've exhausted all the possible solutions I could find, which just keeps leading to more problems which ends up in an infinite loop which is unfixable!Oh, I was also using logmein at the time to do remote desktop in case my parents.One other thing to note is that within the netplwiz window, there are 2 administrators stated. One is Mcx1 and the other is LogMeInRemoteUser which are both in the groups HomeUsers and administrators. All other user accounts are only in the HomeUsers group. To add even more confusion I can't even add a new standard user from the user account controls!edit: I booted up my pc whilst holding F8. Started the system repair from the menu and managed to log into the administrator logmein account! Accessed the commandline from there with an elevated status but no use. I've attempted a solution found here but the file was already in use so I could not get past the Target SAM step [URL]...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use W7 + SP1. I tried to update my Apli Master 6 program but for some reason it did not install properly. I tried to uninstall the partly installed program but this failed to happen. Now, I keep getting a pop-up notice from the ISD with a 'runtime error' message. I tried to stop the ISD by going to C/Control Panel/Admin Tools/Services/ Interactive Services Detector and stopping it. However it keeps reappearing with the same message, and will not stay "Stopped." How can I disable it completely?
View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know a good way of disabling the Windows update restart prompt completely? I have disabled the 15 minute auto restart timer but I still get the prompt to restart popping up when I am trying to play a full screen game. The best thing I have found so far is an AutoHotKey script that automatically clicks postpone which is fine for normal computer use but the problem is that my games still minimize for the short time the popup is displayed.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy friend and I share my laptop. Recently I found out that he was watching porn on my computer. So I promptly confronted him, and told him to stop. Weeks later, he did it again. So I downloaded Norton's Safety Minder to prevent it. So this sneaky prick goes around and enables the guest account, and lo and behold, porn fest again.What can I do? I don't want to keep him off the admin account, because he plays games on here, but I don't want him watching porn on my laptop either. Is there a way to put parental settings on the guest account? I know you can disable it, tried that, he just re-enables it, then disables it before he gets off. I'm really frustrated about this.

No spyware worked, so I decided to load a new windows 7 on my laptop, fresh start. But as it got to the end of the installation where the menu said completing, it sat like that for 3 hours, so I turned it tooff, and now it keeps loading into the same thing that saids "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an un expected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install windows, click ok to restart computer< and then restart installation", I click ok, and it just keeps restarting into the same menu.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change the folder properties of a applications folder from read only. I am doing this per instructions from the apps provider to prevent crashes.
When I go to change the permissions it states I need admin privileges. The only account I have on the box is the admin however I did change the name to something besides admin. The account is definitely an admin account.
My problem is that even though I have only one user account defined on my machine and it is set to "Administrator" it is not being allowed to do admin types of things like deleting folders. I tried to create a user group but that's not an option on the Win7 Home Premium version that I use. How can it be that the sole account is not the admin even though it shows that it is in the account user setup?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am dealing with more of an annoyance than a serious problem. When I start up I recv. a msg stating that I am not logged on as an administrator. I then have to switch users at the start menu and then no more pop up and I do have administrative capabilities.I am not that computer savy but I dont think this is normal. Other than the guest account(which is off), I am the only user. I have been through the control panel inside out and upside down. I am listed as the administrator for sure, in a group, not a domain. I also turned off the password requirement. I am confused as to why I have to take that step.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy wife and I like to set different desktop settings and preferences, so we're always switching from one user to the other, without logging off. The only problem we've encountered with this is that anytime a keyboard hotkey is pressed (sometimes other situations) the software launches across both users.
For example, punch the calculator key on one user, the calculator launches on all users. Use the calculator several separate times in one session, many calculator windows will be on the desktop of the other user when a switch is made.
Is there any way to solve this? Without logging off and logging on each time we want to switch users?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am stuck with a problem for quite a while now, Almost every morning when I return to my computer I find my user logged out of windows on the "logon screen". I do have the option "On resume, display logon screen" set and I don't want to change it for security reasons, it works fine for short times.( screensaver turns on, I move the mouse, I am back on the "logon screen" but still loged on). But it appears that if windows is left idle for too long on the screensaver it not only returns to the "logon screen" but also logs me off, I can rule out that the computer crashes over night and reboots from the system up time. Maybe there is a security policy setting or something that I am missing?
