My computer is 6 months old (Gateway), and up until recently I had
parental

experiencing
the exact same issue as Joe. I even had the GEEK SQUAD come out and
help,
but they were unable to figure it out. I get the exact same error as
Joe:
"Unable to make changes to parental controls settings. If this problem
persists, contact your system administrator." I AM the System Admin and
I
cannot set up my daughters account with a password any longer and use
the
parental controls without getting the above mentioned error. She
basically
has full access to the computer, websites etc. As long as I don’t add
a
password and/or parental controls, it works. Basically the parental
software
is useless for me. I have not downloaded anything that would have
interfered
with the software, unless Vista downloaded a change and I am unaware of
that
change.

I am an administrator on the computer. I have tried creating a new
account
and making changes there and that did not work.

Hi, Darlene. First, please check your own account. Does it say,a)"
Administrator Password protected " Or, b) " Standard User " ?
If answer is a), please tell me how far did you go before you were
stopped. Did you go as far as" Parental Controls * User Controls "
window ? Please reply.
