| | Account conflict When my Vista Business machine returned from fixing hardware faults I found that Sony had listed themselves as the main account holder and named the machine Sony I changed the name in all the possible and normal places through the control panel etc. I find now that I cannot access some areas of Documents - Photographs etc and occasionally when file searching manually I am told "access denied". While not earth shatteringly a problem I am concerned that I do not have full access to files in my machine. How do I check that all traces of Sony are removed from the files? |

| | RE: Account conflict You may want to make sure that you are listed as a computer administrator by the system. If you are listed, and you are still experiencing the problem, you should contact the computer manufactuerer concerning your administrator access.
