I previously had set up Vista on my laptop so that both userids had administrator rights. That's changed (I don't know how because I certainly didn't do it - Windows auto update I suspect !) and the user group for both is now "debugger users".

Hi all, I'm currently using Vista Home Premium with 1 admin account and 1 guest account. Sadly when I went to change my password for my admin account, I was prompted saying that my password was unable to be changed. I thought nothing of it. I tried to change it again but it said my "current" password is incorrect? It was right the first time.

Hello, I am a windows vista home premium user. I am unable to access eventvwr,services.msc, computer managment and some options in adminstrative tools under control. I am an admin on the machine.

Hello, I have trouble trying to run explorer.exe as another user in windows Vista os. In XP things worked like that - 1. check "Launch folder windows in a separate process" check box in folder options for the target account. 2. use runas.exe to launch explorer.exe as another user. I can launch other applications as another user with no problems in Vista
