For some reason 2 of my 3 user accounts work fine. The account I set for
myself as administrator is very slow when surfing the web compared to the
other accounts. I do not sign on as the administrator when I use my account.
All the settings I know how to find are basicaly the same. I logoff all other
accounts. Is there a simple fix out there ? Thanks for any advice. Karl

You should not use an administrator account on a daily basis

I do not sign on as the administrator when I use my account.

That contradicts what you said above. Which is true?

Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,
your OS, Service Pack level
and the FULL contents of any error message(s)

I do not click on, sign in as administrator when using my account. OS is
windows vista home prem. serv. pk. 1 (32-bit). I do not recieve an error,
Looking at all 3 accounts I set up I can sign on to any of them as the
administrator, Should I take the administrator Title off the account in
question and desegnate an account by itself as for administrative use?
Thanks For your time.

I think you are confused. There are two TYPES of user account in Vista, a
Standard User account, which is the one you should be using on a daily basis
and an administrator-enabled account which you should only use for
maintenance. THEN, there is The Administrator account, which is hidden by
default.
Do I take it that you have enabled The Administrator account?
Which of the other two TYPES of account do you log in with normally?

I was using the administrator account that automatically shows up as an
account for log on, which I did set up. I have quit using that account per
your advice and opened a different account for myself. Problem solved. As far
as the hidden account, I have not even began to look for an hidden account.
Thank you very much for your time and knowledge. Karl

New one on me. I got Vista about two weeks ago and learning the ins and
outs. This was useful. I was doing everything in the admin account. I
created just a user account for now. Thanks for the info.
