I'm so frustrated. I'm trying to do such simple things -- I transfer a file from my external harddrive to my new computer. Then I try to rename it or delete it and get the "You need permission" run-around. I'm the only user of this machine and it's an administrator account so it makes no sense to me. Then with another folder, I renamed it and all went well. Then I tried to rename it a second...

it wont let me sign in to an administrator account or use anything that needs the password

Well I've had this issue for a while now. I make a new password and restart my computer but I am never asked for a password and my computer goes straight to my desktop. This is my only user account and it is an administrator. I remember once a while back I did something with Windows PassPort when I was running Windows XP Professional. So if anyone has any Idea how to fix this, that would be...

Vista´s backup requires administrator-level user rights. How can I use it with normal user rights. All I want to do, is backup my personal files. I can´t find any reason, why this operation needs administrator-leve rights. In WinXP it works as it should. Vista´s backup is practically a BIG joke. I don´t think that in big organisation normal users will have administrator-level rights. If...

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on a laptop with 2.4Ghz dual core Intel CPU, and 4GB of ram. There is currently only one account on the laptop, set at administrator level.

I created an account just fine, but when I click on "Set Up Parental Controls for Any User" from the main control panel window,...

I have a young daughter who uses a vista ultimate PC. I've set up parental controls, but I'm most concerned about Instant Messaging, web cams, and IM chatting with strangers, etc... I don't want to restrict her use of it, except for the logon hours allowed. But I do want to use the Instant Message Tracking in the Activity Viewer. She's using Windows Live Messenger, which I should assume be...

I have a laptop with windows vista. I had reset my password and now when I try to boot up, I cant. Is there any way of getting into my computer without a hatchet? Forget about changing something in the start button, I cant get there until I get logged on. Thanks for any help.

I've been trying to download some software from the internet, and Vista keeps blocking it with a Pop up box saying "Windows needs your permission to continue - Type administrator password". But there's no box to type the password in! Also, both accounts (Admin and User) seem to be operating in Standard mode, so I can't operate the Administrator (and every time I try to, the Pop up box...

I am trying to get the sidebar to work (I've never used Vista before). When I try to activate the Sidebar, I am told that "Windows Sidebar is managed by the System Administrator". But I AM THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR! Indeed, I haven't installed any other accounts on the system, as I'm the only user. What kind of mainframe stalinist system is this???? Anybody who can help me please.
