hi, i was having a tidy up of programs and i uninstalled something to do with the parental controls (because i have no need for restrictions and didn't think it was needed). straight after that no browsers would work, torrents still download and msn still connects, but no web pages appear. i get a error message saying "the family safety service has been disabled, ask administrator to enable it, otherwise internet browsing will not work" or something along them lines. i only have the 1 admin user account and have tried everything i could think of but still cant seem to enable it at all. ive tried everything, restoring to 3 different system restore points and all sorts of other stuff too. any one got any ideas? before i wipe the whole damned thing........ lol

Try creating a new user account with admin rights and see if you still face similar issue.

any idea how i make another account have administrator powers? im sure that i tried this already with out success but possibly didnt do it right. but im sure its the thing i uninstalled from the add/remove programs page, because also when it worked fine, there was a icon for the family safety service at the bottom right of my desktop, but now theres not.
