system administrator

im trying to install a logitech cam to my comp.
when i try and load the disk in the drive it comes up
with an error messages saying"the system adminitstator
has set policies preventing this installation". how do i
change the policy to allows this installation

Windows XP Home Edition - how do I login as 'system
admiinistrator' so I can turn off the firewall in Windows?

Greetings --

Reboot in Safe Mode. But why in the world would you want to
disable the firewall? The only valid reason I can think to _not_ use
a firewall would be if one is deliberately "collecting" and studying
viruses, spam, and other such intrusions.

Upon time out of having an application open, and anytime
my computer performes a schedules task,I keep receiving a
blue Windows screen asking me to select the account user
desired.
I am the only account user for my computer.
How do I eliminate this screen and have ability to access
desktop etc. directly?

Control Panel / Display / Screen Saver - uncheck "On resume, display welcome
screen" and hit apply.

Unfortunately I do not have the "on resume, display
welcome" under the screen saver tab.
I am running windows xp home edition.
I do not find that capability in either xp or classic
mode.
I do have a box for "on resume, password protect",
however it is not checked either.
Any other suggestions please?

Many of the backed up files from my last system are
marked as read-only. I am trying to copy, to update and
generally change the files. In each case I am told that
I do not have adminstrator ability to change the read-
only designation.

In Control Panel under User Accounts there are two accoun
ts: myself Tom Gundry as computer administartor and Guest
(?????)

What can I use to change this and access my files.

thanks to

Tom,

I don't have an answer but I do have the exact same
problem. If I get the answer I'll let you know. Maybe
you'll do the same for me.

Thanks,

L R Bradley

I am using Windows XP on my computer at home.
How can I make myself the systems administrator?
My pc is connected only to my wife's Windows 98 pc.

Boot the computer in Safe Mode and log into the built in Administrator
account. Then you can go to Control Panel, User Accounts and elevate your
regular account.
