asp.net machine account
You're welcome.
Both the problem and the repair process are complicated, and it seems you're still confused about asp.net and the instructions for using the Vista boot repair options and instead were trying to run a reinstallation. I suggest you look for qualified professional help. -- "Jesse" wrote in message ... Thanks again for trying to help. I am just lost. I tried to boot with my original vista install dvd, but with no luck. All I get is a window saying that I need to be the administrator to run the installation. I know it is some more of that stupid aps.net mess. "GTS" wrote: You're welcome. If you have a standard Vista installation DVD that is the boot disk. -- "Jesse" wrote in message ... Thanks for your advice. I read the post on the link you gave me. It sounds exactly like what I am going through. Unfortunately I don't have a vista boot disk. All I have is the disk I used to install vista. "GTS" wrote: Jesse. The link below discusses a case exactly like yours and provides a solution - see last post in the page. To clarify a couple of points for you- Firstly, the asp.net account is related to the.Net framework, is not abnormal, and is NOT a problem in itself. (I have one on my Vista machine and have seen it on many others.) It should not be deleted. However, it does complicate your real problem which is that you do not have access to an Administrator account. In Vista, the built in admin account is disabled by default. If there is no other administrative account on the machine the built in admin account will be enabled by booting into safe mode. However, if there is any other admin account, and in your case the asp.net one qualifies, the built in will not automatically be enabled in safe mode. This means that if the admin account had never been enabled, you can't get access to it AND if your current user account is a limited one, you do not have the rights needed to fix the problem. Spirits solution will not work because you cannot enable the admin account from a limited user account. This is an unfortunate design flaw. Microsoft's decision to enable the admin account in safe mode in the absence of any other admin accounts is a smart move intended to prevent a complete lockout of admin rights. The problem that is created by the presence of the asp.net account is essentially a bug or unforeseen problem (i.e. the admin account should be enabled in safe mode if no admin account other than asp.net is present). This link explains how to use the PE environment from a Vista DVD boot (I hope you have one) to make a registry change to enable the built in admin account. Unfortunately, the original poster did not confirm how it worked out, but I suspect it's a sound solution. It's somewhat complicated, and if you're not comfortable with it you may wish to get some professional help. Once that is done you can change your user account to administrative from the admin login if you wish. Good luck and please let us know how it works out for you. http://www.vistax64.com/vista-accoun...r-account.html GTS -- "Jesse" wrote in message ... I am still miserable and having fits trying to get around or get rid of this asp.net machine user account. I can't access many of my programs like system restore. I am denied access to many of my programs because it says that it is the administrator, and I don't have permission. I can't make myself the admin; and it won't delete or uninstall. Is ther anything that someone can tell me in laymans terms, how I can get rid of asp.net. I hate it and it is driving me crazy. I didn't have these issues before I upgraded to vista home premium. Somebody please help me. I have tried to change permissions. Change user accounts. Cannot uninstall some programs because I get a message saying someone else is using it. Don't know what to do. |
