I have a problem with Windows 8. This morning when I went to check my ASUS Zenbook laptop, the PC wouldn't access the network, even tho I could see our home network was working. I did a hard reboot and returned several minutes later to find I had been logged in under a temp password and all the...

I am running Windows 7 SP 1 on an AMD Phenom system. I have problems launching Forticlient, which my company uses to access the VPN. This happened a while ago. The system admin gave me a later version, which worked, but then it developed the same problem. When I click the program, I get the...

It really bugs me that I can't change some settings, like fast startup, because I don't have permission. I am the only user on my home computer and Windows 8 tells me to see the system administrate. I want FULL permissions on my Windows 8. Anyone know how to fix it? Windows 8 pro 64bit.

I cannot access things like "gadgets" because the system tells me only administrators can use these. I'm the only admin on my home network. How do I fix this? On another problem: I cannot modify my screen background thru the NVIDIA setup. I have an NVIDIA card and a fully compatible screen...

Yesterday, Microsoft started the announcements about Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The one thing that struck me was the fact that Windows 7 will only get some minor updates and bug fixes from the Service Pack. Even though Windows 7 is sweet and looks very good from the beginning, I...

Hi there. I would like to have my current user as a real administrator and not just be in the administrator group. I know that command: net user administrator /active:yes but it adds a new user at the log on screen. I would like to have the same privileges of the real admin but with my...
