Computer Ruined. Trying To Write Zeros Through Dos. Ghost Administrator Wont Allow
Jan 23, 2009
I have Windows XP with sp2 i believe. I purchased this computer back in 2005 so its pretty old but i havent had many problems with it until recently. I didnt have internet for about 2 years so my comp was safe from viruses and whatnot. i just got internet about 2 months ago and since then my girlfriend has been downloading numerous files through frostwire, many containing viruses. I have an 80gig hard drive that has 2 partitions. one is my C: drive and the other is my D: drive which is my recovery drive. My computer did not come with any sort of recovery disk, only the 2nd partition on my hard drive
I'm trying to obtain write access to a shared folder on my computer via the following command:code: C:Documents and SettingsXXX>net use x: \127.0.0.1docs /u:XXXThe command completed successfully.If I go to My Computer > X: (Where X is the new network drive) I have read access to the files. However, I do not have write access. (For example, if I try to create a new folder)If I'm logged on as 'XXX', which is the user whom the folder belongs to, why do I not have write access to the folder when accessing it as a network drive?I am able to write to the folder if I go to C:Documents and SettingsXXX.docs but not through X:...
Windows XP Home SP2 account is an Administrator and I just installed a FPS game and I can't run that game because it produces an error saying that the games EXE folder needs to writable but when i try to make it writable windows tells me Access Denied. How do I correct this so I can play my game? Also, of the files and folder it DOES let me change the change doesn't actually happen it looks like it does but it doesn't.
tried installing norton 360 and pressed yes to something regarding java script and a cookie, she can't remember what it was, because she just presses yes to anything because she is a total retard who i'm banning from the computer.so. now Internet videos no longer come up, google images dont show up, email page is all in basic text. and i don't get redirected when i make a post on a forum. those are the only symptons i've seen so far. so what the **** is up. i also can't add smileys from the side there >> they dont come up in text form. before you tell me to do something completely basic.
i have 2 hard drives. c: i use for My Documents, which i store all of my music, videos, documents, pictures, etc in. d: i use for system files and so on.a few hours ago i reformatted. i set up everything, listening to music, and had to restart for a program to finish setting up.after the restart, a screen came up asking to do a disk check, stating that if i wanted it to be cancelled i should press any key. i didnt see the harm in this, and it went. at one point, it started saying "relocating (audio file) to sector 2397" or some **** like that, you get the idea.after the restart, i played some music, and it was totally warped, it had parts of other songs and samples thrown in for no apparent reason. its not just one folder, i went through my 10 000 or so mp3 collection and listened to like 20 songs from different subfolders.
stop: 0x00000050 Does this mean anything to anyone?I tried installing Windows Xp SP3 on a new hard drive and then this happened when it said windows is booting or something like that.I may have missed a few zeros in the codes, as its a bit hard to distinguish how many there are when they are all bunched together.
I recently bought a refurbished Dell OptiPlex GX620 computer that came supplied with XP Pro S2 and S3 installed, a DVD/CD RW device and a floppy drive installed. I installed a Nero 6 program that I used with my old Win 98SE system and was able to copy files and folders from my old computer to be transferred to the new one. Yesterday (4/2/10) I tried to play a DVD and nothing happened. I chose to run E: and saw the various chapters available on the DVD but when I went into Media Player 11, it told me that it could not play the DVD. I tried another DVD but got the same notice. The notice window suggested that I move my video resolution down to 640Xxxx and lower my colors down to 16 bit from 32 bit. I also tried that but no joy. Can anyone suggest what might be happening here? I have a 3.6 Gig processor in this rig so I don't think it's a speed problem.
This is really starting to aggravate me. I fixed a computer for a guy by re-installing Windowx XP on it with Service Pack 2. He installed Service Pack 3 after I specifically said "DO NOT INSTALL SERVICE PACK 3!!!". Anyways, it started acting funny so I have it back. Now when it starts up I get a black screen full of zeros on it right after the Gateway screen. I am trying to put a fresh copy of Windows XP on it, but all of the writing is jumbled and the zeros remain. Anyone experience this and know how to make it display correctly again? Everything looks fine once it gets into Windows or on the Gateway bootup screen, just the "dos" screens have zeros on them and I cannot do anything with it like this.
I am trying to edit my start up with regedit on xp pro this worked about 2 weeks ago and now it says i am not the administrator has anyone any idea about this maybe virus tryin to stop me stopping its start up
i just installed windows media player 11 and wastold restart after finished installing now when i go into play some music it just says log into a adminidtrators account or group and restart to finish installation when i am the computer admin so is there another administartor and how do i get into it so i just want it installed.
A result of not knowing what I was doing. I added my wife to an account of her own and at the same time changed my account to a limited account so our accounts would be the same. Now some of the programs wont work because there isn't an identified computer adminisrator How can I get the computer administrator back
Recently, I have not been allowed to download some software because I am 'not the computer administrator' but I'm registered as one. When I first installed WinXP, I put myself as the administrator. What do I have to do so that I will be recognized as the administrator and then I can download these programs
My User Account lists me as the administrator but for some reason I can't make changes under Internet Options/Tools. I have windows XP on an older Sony VAIO. The only other User Account is Guest. Because I can't change the settings under internet options/tools to allow active X installation, I can't get the fix for quickbooks to allow me to run it.
Ok guys my problem is also involved with video games. I tried to install Steam (a program that runs Sierra games such as Counter-Strike) but when i try to install it this thing pops up "You do not have access to make the required system configuration modifications. Please return this installation from an administrators account." Ok guys I also tried to install this game "World Of Warcraft." I tried to install both these games but the computer keeps blocking! When i try to insteall Steam that note pops up (see above). When i try to install World Of Warcraft, the nstallation bar stops and remains at the middle. I left it installing for the whole night last night. When i woke up the bar is still at the middle , like 50%. Ok so anyway, all of this is because of the Administrator access problem. I have checked other topics that relates to this problem but it didn't solve my problem
i have always been the administrator on my computer. now it does not recognize me as that...actually it doesn't show anyone as the adminisrator. it shows my account as limited
I use my administrator account all the time although I know it isn't the most secure thing to do with an NT based OS. My questions amongst many is that some of the related help files said add my current administrator account to the "power users" group. That way it will be a member of both group how would that work exactly and would it make a difference in terms of security?
I have an administrator account and the guest account. Well my dad took my computer away from me for a while and he changed the password to the administrator account. The problem is, he can't remember what he changed the password to. I only have access to the guest account now, so I can't install or uninstall any unwanted programs, the quality is horrible and I don't have any of my music I've searched around for password reseting programs, but that doesn't help since I can't even install anything on the guest account. Is there any way I can retrieve my password My dad has sat down and tried all the possibilities he could think of, and so has my mom and I've spent hours trying all possibilities I can think of. No success. He thought it was "help kori" since the password hint is "mom and dad will". Is there any way to get my password back
I am the owner and administrator on my laptop, today it won't load YIM nor will it allow me any administrator rights-run and open programs,I don't know the admin password-never had to use it to run a program
someone installed xp on the computer and we now cannot do anything like get to control panel ie=t says we are not the adminstrators how can i get passed this
I bought a computer from a company & it was a network. Now I am the only one using it so how do I remove the last administrator As it is now, I can't install any programs
My operating system, Windows XP, comes up with several error messages when I try to open up system files or programs that concern the "Computer Administrator". I then checked in the Control Panel to make sure that my name is in fact the admininstrator, and it is, to no suprise. But whenever I try to open these programs it either says this has been disabled by the administrator. The administrator has turned off this feature.
I don't know why this happens. I find out a way to fix it and then when I close it, it won't let me reopen it without fixing it again. Some programs that I have tried that don't work and give me this or a similar error message are, System Restore, Task Manager, Regedit, and Windows Update.
im trying to help my brother out with his computer. It used to be our family computer and when my dad gave it to my brother he deleted all users except my brother. Unfortunately my brother is a limited user and is unable to many things on the computer. Is there like a default administrator password? He is using windows XP home.When I restart the computer it has a log in screen where you type in a username and password, not the traditional windows xp login screen.
I just got a used computer ii's windows xp home edition downloaded some things and deletd backup files to stuff i don't know now whenever i click on something the the run as comes up and ask me for my admintrator password there is no password but when i click it says's invalid how can i solve this problem can i reinstall windows xp home edition and do i have to buy something for that.
To mess around and make a new account on the PC as he was logged in as the Administrator of the computer. They had no other accounts except for the default Administrator account that they had used. So the son made a new account which he also granted th permission of computer amdinistrator. since that overworte the previous Administrators account that was on there everytime they log in they get the new account and there is no way to delete the new one that has been created... Even when I tried to go into safe mode and log in as the default administrator for some reason it won't let me delete the account even though you are the Administrator and Microsoft even says."You must be an administrator to delete another administrators account" you can't even change it to a limited Account.
I recently changed my .net framework to my computer administrator and my user account to limited account and when i turn on my computer it only shows my User account which only has limited access and I can't do anything about it. How can i change back my .net framework to limited and user back to computer administrator again?
Everytime I boot I get an "Administrator has prohibited access to CD/DVD DRIVES and removable storage devices" All of my USB ports and my CD are greyed out with a red circle and bar symbol. I am running XP Pro with SP3. I am the only user of this computer and I did not restrict them. I have gone in with the secret administrator account and it is also locked.
