User Accounts

as administrator I can access any sites on the internet but as a user, many
are blocked. I have Mcaffee installed. Why would it block on some users and
not others?

You must be logged on as an administrator and you cannot be logged on with
the account that you want to delete.

Click your user account picture at the top right of the Start Menu. Select
manage another account, click the account you wish to delete and select
"Delete the account". You will be prompted to leave this users files on the
computer or remove them.

i am having trouble getting a game to play on the user accounts, dungeon
keeper 2 from the administrators side works fine, as soon as i try it in a
user account the game freezes, any suggestions?

Unfortunately, you don't have a lot of options to correct this behavior for
any program that is not compatible with Vista.

When this program runs, it is trying to access restricted areas in the
system and the registry where administrator privileges are required. A
simple manifest file programmed into the game would fix the problem, but
this is something that the developers of that game would need to do.

You might want to check the website of that game developer for any
compatibility updates.

I had the same thing going with msn explorer. I was on phone with verizon
because dsl and computer were brand new. They claimed it was a vista problem
search for help on computer under users and I found information on how to
share programs. if comuter is new call them

I bought a new labtop, it came with Windows Vista Home Premiun. First thing I
did was create a user account. When I turned off my computer and turned it
back on, I had one little picture that I chose for my user account. When I
clicked on it, I put in my password and that logged me into my computer,
everything was good. After receiving a Windows update( I don't know which
one). All of the sudden, when I turned on my computer. I have two user
accounts, same picture, same password, same account, just got two of them. I
tried deleting it and making a new user account but that didn't work, the new
user account had a twin also. The twin shows up when I log in and under user
accounts. I just want to know how to fix the problem. It seems like everytime
I get an update for Windows Vista something goes wrong. My labtop is a
FUJITSU and I got in it August, everything worked great until I started
getting updates from Vista.

Quote from Ronnie Vernon MVP:

Many people are having this same problem. The problem has been identified as
a conflict between the OmniPass fingerprint reader software and Vista.


Here is the latest information posted by another user who fixed the problem.

I contacted OmniPass and you do not have to uninstall the OmniPass Software.
I
downloaded this file, www.softexinc.com/download/UninstMSPwdProv.exe - ran
it
re-booted and I only had the 2 ADMIN Accounts I wanted. this seems to be a
problem with OmniPass Version 5.00.18 and Vista update, It has been
addressed
and fixed in Version 5.00.75 which will fix the issue. If you don't the next
time you do a Windows Update with Vista you may get the same doubled user
accounts again.

You can download the fix from the above link and double click the downloaded
file to run the file.


You also need to contact OmniPass support or your PC maker to inquire about
getting the latest version of the OmniPass software.

Hi
Can anyone help? My new computer won't let me create another user account.
My administrator account seems fine but whenever I click the icon for create
a new account, the clicking noise sounds but nothing happens.

Open a command prompt as administrator. run the command

net user USERNAME PASSWORD /add

Have you tried using the microsoft management console? Click start and type
mmc in the search field. Once it is open go to File then Add/Remove Snapin.
In the left pane select Local Users and Groups and click Add in the center
and then click Finish and OK. Expand the Local Users and Groups node in the
left pane of the MMC and open the Users folder. Click the Actions menu and
select New User...
