I have a friend for whom I put together a computer with Vista Home Basic on it. She is not very computer savvy, and relies on me for support. She "suddenly" began having all sorts of problems that I couldn't explain. (The one that made her call me was that the computer was asking if she wanted to format her DVD... even the Vista installation DVD.) I thought it was a communications...

Hi, I stupidly changed my admin account (not the built-in one) into a standard user account. I have previously enabled the built-in administrator account so I thought that I will be able to login as administrator using that built-in account. But the welcome screen now does not show the built-in administrator account and I have no access to any admin account. I have tried using safe mode but no...

I am trying to change my hosts file so I don't allow access to a particular site. In the process I accidentally changed the extension of the orignal HOSTS file, it is now a .org file and I cannot find a way to get rid of the extension. There are no previous versions to restore to, and renaming no longer changes the file type. How can I either create a new HOSTS file, or restore the orginal one?

A couple of weeks ago, however, I realized that I never had my parents set up...
