Hi there - the PC I use has no internet access, so whenever I need on the internet I usually go to my mum's. Anyway, since Christmas, her computer has gone insane on this Log-on name (and NOT the others). Basically, Windows seems to have lost its memory. Anything Microsoft-based is fucked-up. IE constantly tells you that you're about to go to an insecure connection, etc, it never remembers when you click "remember my password", it stores no cookies or information, IE cannot download things from the Internet (although Firefox thankfully can), SOULSEEK will not run any longer (BIGGEST downer), MSN messanger will not run... well, you get the picture. I need a TechHead, like, NOW! |

Bizzare. Have you tried updating windows from their update site? |

It's not my PC or place to do that. It is Winows XP Home Edition. Like I said, it ONLY affects this log-on name, none of the others, so methinks that the StepFather, renowned for his deliberate fucking up of our Logons (me and my little brother) has done something in the Settings of something. Also, the printer won't work on this Log-On name. |

I'd just remove it and create another user if I were you |

Can't do that, not my computer, and I'm not permitted to do anything like that. Although I do, of course, know the F5 trick to give myself Admin powers. But that did not solve anything, alas. |

Scare your mum into letting you do it Tell her that having a faulty profile on the pc could end up costing THOUSANDS of pounds worth of damage and result in here loosing everything she's ever worked for 0=op |

Sounds to me like someone has made "c:\documents and settings\marlowe" and everything in it read only, or made the permissions admin-only. I have no idea if this can be fixed without admin privileges. If someone retarded has been at the system (parents for example) thery may have changed privileges on the entire C: drive and environs. |

Alternately perhaps your login is no longer a member of group "users"? |

maybe a dingo ate your memory? |

|
|
if its not your place to change any settings of any kind, why are you even bothering to ask? |

1/ maybe Your Dad stores his hidden porn files on that PC - that's why he oversecured the settings 2/ if You manage to get access just format/reinstall everything no use complaining and asking for help if Your Mom can't let You DO SOMETHING |
