Using MS Office2003 In Different User
Feb 21, 2009
Hello. I decided to create administrative privilage User and a guest user. In the guest user I am unable to use MS Office 2003. Everytime I want to open word, it wants to install but then dies out saying "Error 25090. Office Setup encountered a problem with the office Source engine........." MS Word will open eventually, but how do you get rid of it constantly going through the motions of reinstalling itself and the error messages. Do I have to completely reinstall MS Office 2003 in the guest account. All the other programs worked except, of course, MS Office.

I am about to retire a computer due to defects but it has some LEGIT retail MS Software installed (Office 2003 STE & Access2003 and perhaps 1-2 others) If I uninstall the software, will it UNACTIVATE its licences to allow a re-install on the replacement system?

I am trying to fix a friends computer my usual story. Once it gets to the user screen for user selection both keyboard and mouse stop working, its either they stop working or the computer freezes, i am not sure. Life still goes to the mouse as it still lights. The keyboad works fine in the bios but not at freezing point.

For security reasons, Microsoft does not allow parents (computer administrators) to check on, maintain, adjust or otherwise enter their kids' (limited users) XP profiles without either resetting their passwords or waiting for them to come home and being confrontational about it.Ideally I would like to be able to log on to a limited user account from my administrator account without tampering with anyone's passwords-resetting them or otherwise. Actually, I have little interest in the (step) kids' personal life and stuff. Alternately, perhaps you may help me with my ultimate goal: limiting screensaver activity:

as soon as i log in instead of welcome screen to choose logins i go to a dialog box where i have to give my password and usernam... i tried to change this by going to control panel and user accounts. as soon as i clicked on "change the way user logs in or logs off" i get a error as 'A recently installed program has disabled the welcome screen and fast user switching . to restore these features , you must uninstall the program. the following name might help you identify the program that made the change - KLGina.dll"
so i tried to delete i couldnt ... eventually it got deleted by software "unlocker" but as i log in again an error as "please contact system administrator as klgina.dll is missing'.. i got that back again by system restore..

I'm trying to configute using Command Line (CMD) some local account configuration.
It must be configured by any standart windows command tools.
I need to configure the "Passworw Never Expires" option using the command line.
I had success by setting other options as "Account is disabled" and "User cannot change password". But this option is really making me sad.

what i want to accomplish is to set an user account type automatically after creating one. as you may know, when you create an user account the system ask you what account type to apply for that new user. the default choice are: Administrator and Limited. i want to create an account that is not too limited but neighter with same privilege as an administrator. i went to the Local Users and Groups at the Microsoft Management Console (now on MMC) and assigned a different Group to each users i desired. task accomplished. but...
the problem is that i don't know how many user the computer will have. the owner of the computer are primitive human that don't know how to configure the system. i neighter want any of them to have administrative right because they have internet access and they still on the experiment process. meaning that they're propense to click 'YES' to any message even if those are viruses (most of them don't read english). the solution i thought was to assign only one user the administrative right so they can install and uninstall software and perform other administrative task as creating more user accounts. there is anyway that after creating an user account the system automatically assign the user a specific Groups? for example the built-in object Power User. or among the choice on user account tool add an new item or modify the existing items. or if there is anyway to modify the privilege and right for an built-in object Group. the Limited account pertain to the User Group, so instead of automatically assign other group, the new account inherit the privilage/right/limitation from the default group.

Does anyone know the extension that windows uses when it saves a backup of user data when a user account is deleted in XP?

Operating system: XP home.When creating a user account for my husband with limited access, I lost my user account as administrator. My guest account has also disappeared. I cannot download or do anything because of the limited access that my husband has. How do I get back/show my user account with administrator access?

I'm going to create 30+ user accounts. They will be all running at the same time, running the same program. (the only way I've figured out how to dual-boot the same program) and I was wondering... Is there anyway to make it somehow use less resources doing so? Like, so far I've gone into Advanced > Performance and killed the switch on everything. I was just wondering, after days of running non-stop, it is bound to start eating up RAM or even cache to much, right? If so, what can I do to stretch the time this happens in? What else can I switch off/disable for each user to eat up less resources?

Does one group take precedence over the other. I had a situation where the user's accoutn was in both groups but when trying to install software,it appeared as if he did not have enough privileges. One of my technicians signed in as administrator and was able to install the software without a problem. When he signed in as the user who was in both Power Users and Admins, he said the install did not work. So the general question is how does Windows decide how to apply group membership roles.

In recently restoring my crashed machine, I noticed that when the machine was
idle, it would go back to the user login screen. I found this tedious as I
just wanted it to go to screen saver but stay within the user session. I ran
'control userpasswords2' and de-clicked 'Users must enter a user name and
password to use this computer.' (It's a home computer so not worried). Now
when I reboot, it brings up a Windows login for Administrator and says,
"Unable to log you on because of an account restriction." I can bypass that
and log in as Owner or anybody else so it's more cosmetic than anything else.Question - who is this "Administrator?" The account doesn't show up under
User Accounts. 'Owner' is the Administrator. Do I care about this account
(which appears to be hidden? Should I allow it to log in under the covers? If
so, do I have to re-click 'Users must enter a user name and password, etc."

I used the Control Panel's "User Accounts"/"Change an Account" to change my Username on XP Home without any problems. However, under Documents and Settings, the directory with all my settings still has the old Username. Can I just rename the directory to the new one I created and which is reflected as my Username on login, or will that create problems.
I am the administrator of the account and would not like to get locked out or cause other types of problems. Can someone who is familiar with this type of maneuver confirm that it is OK to just rename the directory or how to go about approaching this?

I've got a hand-me-down laptop that I inherited from my dad (IBM Thinkpad 600X), which is running Windows XP Home Edition. I never cease to be amazed at what sort of weird configurations my dad managed to get in place, or how much time it takes to undo some of these configurations now that the laptop has been handed down.

The title sums up my problem pretty well. I used to have a problem with switching user, my computer didn't respond after clicking 'switch user.' I searched for a thread about that problem on this site and solved it instantly. However, after switching user, the computer now returns back to the Windows XP main log-on screen as it's supposed to, but when trying to log onto a different user, the computer almost refreshes the screen and comes straight back to the log-on screen. The only user that has access to the computer at this point is the user that switched user originally.

Current situation: When Windows XP boots it displays Windows logo, black screen and then a small error window with title "User Interface Failure" and text "The logon user interface dll msgina.dll failed to load. Contact your system administrator ..." There is a button to restart the system. Booting causes a loop back to the same state; I cannot get the system to boot to safe mode. Other than the lack of a logon and desktop the rest of the boot process seems to continue OK; I can access network shared drives from another system. Using BartPE I can see that msgina.dll is in C:windowssystem32 as it should be. Unfortunately much of the data I need to access for my work is not on shared drives and cannot be accessed by BartPE so I am in big trouble.
Background: The express version of SpyCatcher was installed a few daus ago. All was OK until I restarted the system and arrived at the current situation. I also have BartPE which I have used to look at the SpyCatcher logs and found entries that msgina.dll was quarantined (along with many other safe items). I believe this is the cause of the problem and not anything else.

I have a corrupt user profile. A program would not work (Avery DesignPro 3.5) and their support told me to create a new user profile.I did, and the program works under the new profile. The problem is that nothing that I use all the time is under the new profile. How can I uncorrupt my regular user profile, or do I need to switch back and forth when I want to use that program?

I had a user account, However, for some reason, I have done something wrong and reboot the machine, that user account had gone, only Administrator is left. Then I created an account with the same name: John Smith. I noted under the Documents and Settings, there are 2 John Smith, they are: 1)John Smith and 2)John Smith.JS I think the first one is the original one because the date modified was a couple of months ago. The second one is the one that I just created.Can I recover my original one ?

I wanted to protect my documents on my laptop with a password, and I used ''the easy way'' of protecting it from within my XP user account (I used the built in documents password protection, found in the account mangement menu in the control panel). everything was fine until I've restarted the computer. I got (and still getting) the following message: ''The system could not log you on.

In XP Home, multiple users are supposed to be able to log on at the same time. That used to work for us fine. Now, a second user can no longer log on. Sometimes, I see an error message blaming winlogon.exe, but usually, the system just crashes. Curiously, there are no errors in the Event Viewer.

I'm running XP-Pro, ACT 2006 and Goldmine 6.0 databases. Whenever I need to sign on with my user name first and last name then enter a password to access secure websites the last name of my user name changes to a series of letters with no meaning and then I am denied access to the sight. This also happens when I want to enter my "Signature" at the end of an email

I bought a copy of the above online to overwrite my French version of XP. I see, however, that it is intended for PC server manufacturers and assemblers ONLY. Does this mean I cannot use the disk to overwrite my software? I'm reluctant to try it without advice. Unfortunately, my husband broke the seal on the package when it arrived so presumably I can't exchange it if necessary.

I switched user in XP and found my account seemingly wiped. What i mean is, it is like a new user acct - no settings, desktop picture gone, no recent docs, try and run a program and it thinks it is the first time it has run, eg winzip.i have checked the docs and settings folder - it's still my user name, and no new one appears.worse still, when i try and change some of these new default settings, eg IE home page back to google, it ignores my instruction - in fact no new settings at all will be recognised by IE. I also ran mu usual suite of spyware (spybot, adaware, spyware blaster) and although they found updates and dl'd them, they refuse to be recognised during the immunise process. Anyhow, nothing found.

I have an HP laptop with Win XP pro that I use for work. I wanted to create a second user account to use for personal reasons so I did. I never set up an account when I purchased the computer. However, now the only user account that shows up is the "personal" account I set up and not my original profile. How do I undo this or how do I copy ALL my original profile attributes (MS Outlook emails and profile, favs, etc.) to my new profile. I can view my files in the old profile Admin folder under docs and settings but thats it. All my old emaills are some where I just cant find them.

I am fairly comfortable with my XP home set up. Iwas looking at a Dell desktop that offers XP Pro loaded and a CD of Vista Business free. Would I be able to use Pro as I do Home and ignore the bells and whistles advantages? I may want to install Vista eventually and this seemed like a cheap way to test! I have seen some reviews of Pro and it does not seem too different.

I have a Dell 1.80 Ghz running Windows 2000 NT Professional.The main problem is that I cant get to the desktop anymore when I start my computer.The computer boots and gets to the screen where I type in my username and password to get to my desktop.It accepts my user and password, starting loading the desktop, gets as far as loading my background wall paper, and then the "saving user settings" dialog comes up and I am taken back to the initial user/password screen again automatically. The computer does this same thing in safe mode.
I was using the computer today and started having the "Auto Protect" application window come up frequently telling me I might have some sort of spyware.It was coming up more frequently than ever in the last day or two, and I'm not sure what triggered it.I also noticed that some of my program aliases would not work anymore. I would get an error if I tried to open certain programs telling me that the application could not be found any more. Very strange.Then I tried rebooting, and now I have the problem I described above.All of this makes me think I have some sort of virus. Seeing as I can't even get to my desktop or pretty much do anything on the computer, I don't know what to do!
