Hi, Anthony,

Well, I purchased, downloaded, installed, and scanned my computer, but the
only big change is that I am now out 50 bucks. That didn't work. I also
downloaded and installed VISTA SP2. Still I get the same message. I have run
several anti-virus programs, so that doesn't seem to be the problem.

I guess it's time to throw in the towel, and go with Mac. I've done this,
asked that, searched the internet, called Microsoft (they couldn't help, and
told me to call my notebook maker, who in turn told me to call Microsoft
because it's a software problem.

I can no longer tolerate using defective, inferior software such as VISTA,
and I'm sure 7 will be little different.

But thanks, Anthony, you did all you could to help, and I appreciate it very
much.

Hi, Anthony,

No, I still get that dadgum message. I guess VISTA has a built-in expiration
date, and it's telling me it's time to upgrade to 7, which will hopefully fix
some of these bugs and annoyances. I am at a loss as to what to do, other
than reinstall VISTA, which will take the whole weekend. This should not be.

hi

ok - at least you can access the account settings

open User accounts dialog, locate "Turn User Account Control on or off"

click continue, uncheck "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your
computer" then click ok

Note: this might require restart

once pc reboots, open control panel and try to access Programs and Features
to see is you have access.

let me know what happens

Hi, Anthony,

Yes, and when I see "Choose the account you would like to change," I can see
my name, as the Administrator, and Guest (Guest account is off).

hi

as a matter of interest once the control panel window is open are you able
to access user accounts?

Greetings! I am using Windows Vista Home Premium. I recently downloaded an
upgrade that requires me to uninstall a previous version of the program. When
I go to "Control Panel" and click on "Uninstall or Change a Program," I get
this message, which I didn't see a month or so ago:

"Your system administrator has disabled Programs and Features."

Thus, I can't uninstall the program and install the upgrade, which is an
urgent matter. Can any of the Vista experts help me with this problem? Thank
you.
