| 172282 | 2003-09-01 12:32:00 | you will need to be loged in as administrator to install it. | robsonde (120) | ||
| 172283 | 2003-09-02 08:52:00 | If I understand correctly, I am logged on as administrator..........at least that's what the the user's tab in "users and passwords" indicates.............it lists FredZundapp as user and administrator as group. This PC is second hand, previous history largely unknown............it's the first prob of its' kind during the 12 months I've had it. Can someone throw some light onto this situation...........if there is an additional administrators section, I don't know the password...........how would I work around that........? |

| 172287 | 2003-09-06 05:36:00 | .........now I've really torn it!.............not being able to find any system administrator controls or even able to verify who or what is an s.a...... I deleted the adobe ver5.............oddly enough, I was able to do so without any warning message re system admin policies.!! I downloaded a fresh copy of adobe6 and..........."system admin policy prevents this installation" message. So, the questions are..... How can I verify who is sys admin.? How can I work around this, (especially as I don't have any password/s)? Why would this just happen now, after more than 12 months use? Can I do away with this group policy/sys admin setup? w2k,IE6 Note, I need no password/s to use this computer now. Ideas, hunches or speculation invited. |
