"Check your user account settings" by Barrie
In order to get rid of the irritating check window that comes up so often, on a single-user machine I have eliminated my user account, just staying as the administrator. That works fine but now I get a window opening at every startup saying "Check your User Account Settings." One irritation has been replaced by another. Can I get rid of this new one?

Task Scheduler message display by Avery Tom Deacon Harry[_2_]
I put this question in the wrong discussion group by mistake, so here it is again, in the right one. I can get Task Scheduler to display a message. However, if I am actually USING the pc when it is time for the reminder to activate then the message gets shunted to the back of the screen, and is "displayed" UNDERNEATH the open windows. In other words the reminder is NOT displayed, it's...

Windows Live ID problem by johnthebaptist
Office Standard 2007 on Vista Home Basic. I want to publish my User2 calendar to my User3 calendar, but can't get past the Windows Live ID sign in either for User2 or User3. I've correctly updated my User2 password, but it doesn't help. Neither does working it backward from User3 to User2 using my new User2 password. Can you reply to both my User2 and User3 addresses?

User Folder Hidden by [email protected]
This morning I brought my PC out of Sleep mode to find that when I logged in all my settings and files where gone. When I opened Explorer to the C:\Users folder I couldn't see my User folder. After logging out and logging in on the Administrator user I found that the User Folder for my user had become a 'protected system folder'. I tried using the DOS command 'ATTRIB' to remove the Hide...

Main account is guest account by mistake by Lane
Somehow my primary account name Owner got switched to a guest account. This means that I can't run certain software, can't get to Windows Update and do a host of other things. I have tried in vain to switch my account to administrator or even to a standard user but can't. The account says Administrator but really it's a guest account. To do anything I have to switch to another account...

Student Activation by Brandon
I have two computers with Vista that I got from a program that Microsoft runs giving students free access to the OS. Now it says all of a sudden that I need to re-activate on both my laptop and my desktop. Did something expire since they are both through the schools program (I don't know if that is why its free or something) or is it a coincidence that they both are needed to be activated at...

Can't change a guest account by Lane
I'm running Vista SP 1. I have an account called 'owner' that was created at some point early on when I got the machine. It is my primary user account. I have recently found out that the account is a 'guest' account and not a 'standard' or 'administrator' account like I thought. Therefore, I can't run certain programs or even Windows Update under this account. Can anyone tell me how to...
