Administration

Hello,

I just upgraded to Vista Ultimate RTM and I need to uninstall a service
which does not work right. But I can not uninstall it every time I try I get
told that I do not have enough authority to uninstall it. Even though I have
turned off UAC and turned on and logged into the system as the Super Admin
under safe mode I still cannot uninstall this program. Can anyone please give
me some advice on how to get rid of it.

Thanks,

blair

Suggestion:

Post again including the name of the program and perhaps someone who has
run into the same problem will read it and then tell you what they did to
fix it.

General suggestions:
1) If you haven't tried already - stop the services installed by the
program. Then uninstall it.

If UAC is on, either launch MMC elevated
-OR-
launch a cmd window using "run as administrator" and then run stop service
commands from there. Could also launch the MMC from this same elevated
window. The "run as" elevation will extend to include the console. If you
make it into the MMC > Services branch - stop the offending service and
disable it.

2) Contact technical support for the program in question. If they don't
support Vista yet, they could at least guide you to the name of the service
that is currently blocking the uninstall.

3) If you end up reinstalling, use the new "Complete PC Backup" to capture
an image before starting to install programs that are not yet optimized for
Vista. Repeat the creation of the image if you get a "good install" of an
application and all seems stable. Proceed to next application.

NOTE: If limited on space (each image will weigh in at around 10 GB), you
can use Disk Cleanup to get rid of all but the most recent image.

HI,I´m Cesar Noriega from Venezuela,mi question isa as follows: I have my
administrator sesion on my machine My Windows version is Windows Vista HOme
Basic but some programs tell me that my account user doesn´t have
administrator privileges.HOw i solve this problem?

Thanks.

Hello,

Windows Vista has a special security feature, called UAC, that lets programs
run with fewer rights than you as an Administrator have. If you want to
start a program with administrative privileges, right-click it, and choose
"Run as administrator".

Greetings,
Paolo Di Stolfo

Upon booting up Vista (HP) insted of going to opening Users page my computer
now takes me to a page that asks me to press the Ctrl, Alt and Delete
buttons. After this, it then asks me to enter my administrators name. But
worst of all, from here it will not allow me onto the opening desktop page.
It keeps telling me that my administrators name(s) and passwords are
incorrect - which they are 100% not - before asking me again for the correct
name. Sometimes it trys to open up and says 'welcome' as if it is normally
opening up but then it returns to the Ctrl, Alt and Delete page. I've tried
F8 memory reinstalation - nothing. Anybody any ideas... please.

I am the only one using my pc. How in the world do I change just to me
accessing everything. I sure get tired of getting can't can't.
Thanks

Hi Peggy,

You can enable the built-in Administrator account for this. This
tutorial will show you how to if needed.
