Administrator Rights / Computer Reaches The Desktop And Then Restarts
Aug 4, 2006
I have Intel Celeron 2.40 GHz desktop with Windows 2000 SP4 installed on it. It is a standalone machine at my residence. The problem is that whenever I login as an administrator or even make a new user with administrator rights or assign an existing user as an administrator and login, the computer reaches the desktop and then restarts. Then it runs scandisk. After successfully running scandisk, it comes to the login screen and the moment I login, same thing repeats. However, if I change the administrator rights of another user to Guest or something, it works fine.

I'm using Windows XP. I have one user account with administrator rights.
When I boot up, my desktop is blank except for the desktop background. In other words, no icons, no start menu, start up programs don’t load, etc. At one point, I got this error:
"Windows cannot find '/idlist, :400:2196,c:'. Make sure you typed the name correcttly, and then try again ..."
(I haven't been able to replicate this error, though. It showed up once.)

Normally I reinstall windows when I run in to this problem, 9 times out of 10 caused by a virus. This time I decided to try and restore policies and get rid of the virus by hand... but I couldn't find a guide telling how to get these policies back! Has anyone created a guide or done this before? I figure if the rights can be taken away, they surely can be given back.

In win XPPro environment I have lost admin right to all accounts. While installing a sfotware I get this message:"You currently do not have access to the Windows registry. Please see system admin to install realplayer." I tried checking the install and uninstall file to make sure the read is unchecked, I looked for previous versions of software to remove and In safe mode as Administrator and also created a new administrator and still cannot download software due to same issue. I rebooted and restarted the computer several times.

I use the PC at church to project the words for the audience to see. Unfortunately other people tamper with it and very often I go to use it and the settings have been changed. Can you tell me how I can go about allowing others to use the PC but only allows me to change setting.

I'd like to know how others deal with programs that require Administrator rights or they refuse to run. I'm currently running Windows 2000 Pro, but I'll be moving to XP and the issue is the same with either OS.I don't want my domain users to have Administrator rights because they install things like webshots and ITunes and other junk that could lead to spyware.How do others balance this.

In our Windows 2003 domain at work, we have a number of laptops that connect to our network. The users of these laptops (both Windows 2000 and XP) need to take them home to work on them.Some of them have hardware devices at home such as printers and wireless home networks, which they may want to connect their laptops to. should you make laptop users a local administrator of their laptop? It would mean that they can connect anything to their laptop and install anything onto it. There have been times where our users have messed up their machines because they have local admin rights to it. What kind of policies do you lot use in this kind of scenario?

I am running windows XP on an IBM T42. I used to be the administrator on this machine, though I set up a separate log in with all admin privileges. Using this account, I used to be able to install, uninstall etc. A week or so ago, I noticed that I was no longer able to uninstall anything using this account. The system kept saying that I needed to be logged on as admin.

I have a home computer with windows XP and I have lost my administrator rights. Most likely a virus or a hijacker has taken over but i cannot do anything to clean up the computer. I cannot uninstall, run the virus program or even reinstall XP. Is there anything I can do to gain access back to my computer.

I can not make any changes in msconfig, nor can I change any program startup options in services.msc...If i try to uninstall a program I get a dialog box that states windows installer can't be located, I've tried to dl and install it but, you guessed it, no installer to install it with. There are three people using these machines, myself, my wife Kim and our 16 year old boy.Having done a little research I've read that I shouldn't go online in an administrator account due to vulnerability issues while in an admin.

I have computers with two logins, one as myself as administrator and one for my students as limited users. These were previously County computers with the County as administrator. One of these machines has locked me out as administrator. I can't install uninstall programs. How can I remove this identity? I am already setup as administrator but am locked out on this one machine only.This computer has Windows NT as its OS.

I can only access my computer using the guest account. This is husband's computer and he has admin rights. When signing in to my or his account, we only get the wallpaper on the desktop with nothing else -- no task bar, no start, nothing to click on. I am limited in downloading/running virus scans because of the non-admin status.

My OS is XP Pro. For quite a while now, whenever my system tries to install the latest version of Win Media Player, most of the installation happens and then I get an error message saying the installation wasn't completed and that I must log on as administrator. Since I am the adminstrator, I guess I've somewhere along the line lost my administrator rights.

I recently downloaded "teakui" to remove email details on loggin page. I use Incredimail as my email programme, this is now not my default programme and it will not let me change it. It says "you need administrator or power user privileges in order to set it"
I am the administrator.

I'll get right to the point. When starting up my computer, it doesn't make it to the desktop anymore. It goes halfway and then restarts.I restarted the computer, and the mouse still didn't work. So instead, I flipped the swith in the back of the PC to completely shut it off. However, the computer was still starting up on the desktop, but I've done that before without problems.
I turn the computer back on, and all of a sudden I get to a screen that says this:We apologise for the inconvenience,but windows did not start successfully A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. (Note: The only changes I made recently were the unplugging/replugging of the internet cable, mouse, and keyboard).

I have a HPDV8000 laptop and somehow managed to pick up this Antivirus XP 2008 Trojan Horse at some point. Pop ups about viruses etc were coming up so I used lavasoft's adaware and it seemed to remove it. After a cold boot, the desktop constantly restarts itself, followed by 0X0000008E Blue Screen. If I boot in safe mode with or without network connections, it does the same thing. If it sits at windows login. for any length of time the same blue screen stop codes come up.

I can't seem to get any desktop icons or taskbar to show when i log in to xp. It happens for all users. I also can't use ctrl-alt-del to get to task administrator (it has been disabled for some reason-was never a prob before so I didn't fix it...) All this happened the next startup after doing a full system scan with norton and a spybot check (the spybot downloaded a few new updates too).

I'm trying to fix a virus problem (trojan.vundo) and need to boot in safe mode. When I try to boot in safe mode I get the user icons, but when I log in using any of the user icons including administrator the system freezes and I don't get a desktop.

I've been using Adobe Photoshop for awhile now and I seem to have a serious problem. Sometimes, when I'm using it, the computer just restarts without any error. This happened to me a few times. I tried Norton Virus Scanner, Adaware, Defragment, and System Restore. But sadly... it still doesn't work...It happened again when I was using spy bot and listening to music... what is the problem??

I have been looking into this computer restarting. I have downloaded recent drivers and updates. I looked at Microsofts suggestions. After the bsod if comes back up and the error reports says they are not sure what it is but it has something to do with antivirus.
Here is the event. It seems to happen whenever they are playing games or online. sometimes they will just go back to the desktop and the program will close.

Ok so I just fixed a computer and reinstalled the Operating System. I booted it once an installed all the drivers again then restart it. Upon doing so it failed to boot the operating system. I rebooted it again and said start Windows in safe mode. This results in the Windows XP loading screen appearing but when it goes away the whole system restarts. The same thing happens no matter what I select on the "Windows did not start up last time" screen.

Recently my computer just started restarting itself. I haven't quite pinpointed when yet but it seems that it does it when i'm running IE or downloading something. It just does it randomly.
