Re: fed up with vista
 

find user accounts in the control panle and look ti make sure ur account is a admin account and not limited altho for the time been try and make another account with admin rights and see if that works

Re: fed up with vista
 

no joy, same story, is it best to enable uac again now

Re: fed up with vista
 

can enable uac now if you like... one other thing you could try is to run a system file check - this will confirm that the original vista files are all ok...

System file check is run from a command prompt, but you'll need to be running as an administrator... do the following:

Click Start, type cmd into the Start/Search box, right-click cmd.exe in the list above and select 'Run as Administrator'.

Then type in sfc /scannow and then hit return

the system file check will run - it may ask for the Vista installation cd, so make sure that is in the cd drive...

Once its completed, reboot the pc and try again...

Re: fed up with vista
 

click win key and r to run as admin

Re: fed up with vista
 

Tried Tightscott & Zinglebarbs suggestions. all I am getting is a black screen with
microsoft windows (version 6.0. 6000)
copyright (c) 2006 microsoft corporation, all rights reserved
c:\user\------>

No cmd .exe

Re: fed up with vista
 

ok reboot pc once your past boot before vista starts press the F8 key this should give you the option of safe mode. Take that and log in as administator. Goto control panel users and change your user to administator if it isnt already if it is then create a new admin account and reboot pc. Log into admin and try again

Re: fed up with vista
