Hi Dave ... I am the admin on the computer with a protected password. I get
so far as clicking all the necessary buttons to put the parental control on,
time limits etc and when I hit "ok" or "apply" (I am not at that computer
right now to know which button it is), I get the standard "Unable to make
changes to parental controls settings. If this problem persists, contact your
system administrator." As long as I dont create a password for my daughters
account and put parental protection on her sign in name, theres no issues.
Soon as I try to add the parental control it doesnt work. Very frustrating,
considerinng for months it worked fine and was GREAT!! I have a feeling a
'upgrade' was made to the computer through Microsoft and its messed it up
since. I have no added nor deleted anything nor has my daughter to prevent
the parental controls from working. She has FULL access to the computer with
no time limits. Thanks, Darlene

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

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.
