Jimmy, thank you for the prompt reply. Yes I have three computers, all are
under the same work group. On web page www.ipscan.com, there is a place to
download the file ipscan. I click on the ipscan.exe, and try to download it
to my folder C:\Temp. Here is where I get the box that I cannot bypass
stating. You need permission from IBM-999999\Guy........ to access that
file. I kinda got myself in a fix, reading one report somewhere that said
to change ownership. I created a new user, and made it owner of all. This
did not work. Where I am now is that somehow when I turn the vista machine on
I have to choose from [ Administrator ] and [ My name ]. Choosing my name, I
get the vista background and all icons ie.. Excel, Word, Outlook, etc.. If I
choose unwisely and click on the administrator, I get a blue background of a
map that is standard on an IBM laptop, plus less than one third icons, no
word, excel, outlook etc. In this mode, if I go to programs, and choose word
( it is there ), then I get the box to mount the installation disk for Office
2003. I just want to sign on as the administrator, with access to all files
and permissions. It is an in-house system for myself and family. I have a PIX
501 that work great, and olso use PC-Cillin for Vista. How can I accompolish
this, I am sure this is what a lot of other single system users want. ( Sorry
for the long winded message, I am originally from New Jersey ). Thanks again
for the reply.

Hello,

Please give us some more information as to what files you are trying to
access, where they are located (what computer and what folder), how you are
accessing them, are your computers in the same workgroup, whether you are
using the same username/password on all of your computers, and from which
operating system the files were created in.
