no administrator account

windows vista, I should have 3 accounts in my laptop, the original
adminstrator, guest which is off, and another one with adminstrator rights,
when I try to use the last one to remove any software, it just let me know
that I need administrator right to download or remove. How can I restore the
original administrator account?

Re: no administrator account

Right click on the program you want to remove, select Run as Administrator.
Now, try to delete again.

The built-in default Administrator account is, AFAIK, disabled by default in
Vista.
When you go to uninstall software using the account with administrator
rights and it asks for permission, have you just tried clicking "Yes"?

Then there is some third-party influence here because an administrator
should be able to uninstall software.
Two questions:
1: What is this application you are trying to uninstall and
2: Is this a work computer?

Re: no administrator account

A box : a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will
close the program and notify you if a sloution is available.

RUNNING a program as Administrator isn't going to give you any option to
uninstall it....

Re: no administrator account

Who said Run As Administrator is going to give an option to uninstall ?"
Did I say that ? Don't put words in my mouth.
Run As Administrator would give required Permission to un-install.

The development of Windows Live One care has been ended.
[url]http://onecare.live.com/standard/en-us/activation/oc_eol_guidance.htm[/url]

The replacement is Microsoft Security Essentials.

Windows Defender is now included in Microsoft Security Essentials.

Re: no administrator account

I have Onecare since 6 months, I downloaded in my computer working good, and
I tried to download it with my account in my laptop.

Re: no administrator account

You're still totally wrong. Running a program as administrator has nothing
to do with uninstalling the program.

Re: no administrator account


May be my choice of words is not up to par.
Run As Administrator would have the necessary permissions to perform certain
tasks which require elevated rights, such as un-installing a program.

Re: no administrator account

No, it is your concept which is wrong.

Run as Administrator applies only to the one specific application which is
started in that mode, and only for the duration of that particular instance
of the application.

Perhaps you were trying to suggest logging on to *the* Administrator
account to perform the uninstallation. This is a very different idea.

If that is what you meant, I would expect it to work, but I am not sure. I
have never had a problem with permissions when uninstalling applications
that I have installed, so I've never tried or researched using the
Administrator account to uninstall an app.
